Damascus

Now and then you might want to escape city life.

Fortunately, the friendly tree-lined community of Damascus is not far. Here you can have the quintessential country experience just on the outskirts of Portland. Walk through the woods, float the river, go fishing or visit a farm. And it wouldn’t be Oregon without a pint of local craft beer, which they serve at the country store that’s also a growler station and beer garden.
