Gladstone

Twelve miles south of Portland, Gladstone is a historic locale at the confluence of the Willamette and Clackamas rivers.

The ancestral home of the Clackamas Indians — whose presence is marked by the Pow-Wow Tree, an Oregon Heritage Tree — Gladstone was settled by Oregon Trail pioneers. Present-day explorers will enjoy fishing on the Clackamas and the Willamette, as well as hiking and birding at local parks. Grab a coffee and discover downtown antique shops.
