Sauvie Island Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

island in the Columbia River in Multnomah and Columbia counties, Oregon, United States

About Sauvie Island

The island was first inhabited by Native Americans with multiple settlements being described by various 18th and 19th Century explorers. Epidemics of diseases brought by European and Euro-American explorers mostly wiped out this population by the mid 19th Century with the Hudson's Bay Company removing survivors around that time. Since then, small farms have operated on the island with multiple u-pick fruit options for visitors and a few small fall festivals. The north end of the island is largely undeveloped with multiple shallow lakes, a lighthouse, and beaches on the Columbia River shore.
