Eastbank Esplanade reopen; please use caution
UPDATED September 29, 2022. The floating portion of Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R)’s Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade has now reopened after a temporary closure created by low water levels in the river. The water remains low, creating high angles on the entry and exit portions of the floating segment; but users may proceed with caution and when going slowly for their safety.
Please use caution when using trails.
Please see Portland Parks & Recreation's Inclement Weather Policy for additional closure information during extreme weather. Be aware that rain and high water can leave trails and roads a bit of a mess with hazards like downed trees, landslides, and flooding. Portland Parks & Recreation addresses weather-related impacts as soon as resources allow but may not be able to respond immediately or forecast where the next hazard will occur.
