Visit the Bull Run Watershed
Join our notification list for Summer 2026 tour information
If you need assistance signing up online, call 503-823-5351.
We're lucky to live in a city where people want to see their drinking water source firsthand. Tours are offered in the summer through early fall. Please join our notification list to be the first to know when tours are being offered again.
Meeting location
We'll provide the exact location after you have reserved your seat. Most tours meet in Northeast Portland.
Repeat visits
Every year we hear from people who would like to go but can't because the tours fill so quickly. If you attended a Bull Run tour last year, please consider making space for someone who's never been to the Bull Run Watershed. We have a limited number of tours and a limited number of seats on the bus. Please consider your fellow Portlanders who haven't been to the watershed before you sign up again.
Can kids join the tour?
Yes, with the understanding that we spend most of the day on a bus and the explanations are intended for adults. We ask you to consider three parties:
- Your kid. You know your child better than anyone else does. Would they have a good time on an eight-hour bus tour?
- Yourself. Will you enjoy an eight-hour bus tour with your child?
- The other people on the bus. Please consider other participants as you make your decision.
Group tours
Group leads must provide all participants' names, email addresses, and phone numbers. If you have 29 people who want to commit to an all-day field trip, please contact us for scheduling information.
