Milwaukie

Just south of Portland on the east side of the Willamette River, the former mill town of Milwaukie once rivaled Portland’s shipping business in the 19th century.

Nestled along the Willamette River, this walkable community is known for its vibrant downtown, scenic riverfront park, and boutique shops. Visitors can explore the Milwaukie Farmers Market, sip craft beer at Breakside Brewery, or hop on the MAX light rail for easy access to Portland’s top attractions. With river views, bike trails, and a friendly local vibe, Milwaukie is an ideal stop for travelers seeking authentic Oregon experiences near the city.
