Bull Run Watershed Tour (departs from N Portland)
Water Bureau tours offer the unique chance to see firsthand how Portland's drinking water travels from forest to faucet.
During the tour, a professional natural resources educator leads participants through the Bull Run Watershed, discussing Portland's drinking water sources and system. All information is intended for a general audience.
Here's a typical itinerary. Most tours are about eight hours long.
-Board bus
-Stop at the Columbia South Shore Well Field, Portland's groundwater source
-Arrive in Bull Run. One-mile (round-trip) hike to the Bull Run River
-Lunch at Bull Run Lake
-Tour of 1929 dam and drive-by tour of 1962 dam
-Stop at the Bull Run River downstream of the drinking water intake
-Drop off
Here are some essentials to be aware of:
-The tour area is remote. Water Bureau staff carry emergency radios and are trained in first aid; however, cell phones do not work and emergency care can be more than an hour away.
-Restrooms can be up to 2-3 hours apart. Please contact us if limited restroom availability presents a challenge for you.
-Smoking/vaping/e-cigarettes are not allowed.
Thank you for your interest in Portland's drinking water.
No refunds will be available for this tour.
