North Plains

Set on Highway 26 just west of Portland, century-old North Plains proudly retains a small-town feel full of family fun.

Pick the perfect jack-o’-lantern at the pumpkin patch in autumn, and whizz through the Pumpkin Ridge Zip Tour any time of year. Hit the greens at the nationally renowned golf course or catch a bluegrass show at Horning’s Hideout. Locavores celebrate an odiferous Oregon crop at the annual Elephant Garlic Festival.
