Early Morning Flood Waters

The flood waters at Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve have reached the maximum height. This is normal winter flooding at the Preserve.

 

The water level of the Tualatin River has risen about 20 feet over the past few days. Other locations in Oregon have experienced flood that is not normal. But these lowlands, the Preserve, are Nature's way of holding water and slowly releasing it as the river level lowers.
