Our Namesake
Elk Rock Island offers the City of Milwaukie 13.6 acres of diverse natural landscape. The island contains seven distinct habitats, including vernal pools, which are home to many amphibians and other forms of aquatic life. More than 50 rare and unique plant species can be found on the island.

Access
Elk Rock Island is connected to Milwaukie by a 40-million-year-old land bridge. The island is accessible at low water at the Spring Park trailhead on SE 19th Avenue and Sparrow Street. Follow the hiking trails that wind around the bay and through the island.

Geology
The island represents part of an ancient volcano that erupted about 40 million years ago. The lava flows formed the predominant bedrock called Waverly Heights Basalt. Large and jagged, the basalt may be the oldest exposed rock in the Portland area. It substantially predates the more common Columbia River Basalts which formed 10 to 25 million years ago. 

Habitats
Seven habitat communities have been identified on the Island. Each of these communities provide food, cover, roosting, and wintering and summer breeding habitat for numerous species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.
