Nob Hill Nature Park

Nob Hill is an oak woodland habitat perched on a basalt bluff with views of where the Columbia River and the Multnomah Channel collide. It is filled with native white oak trees, as well as shrubs, wildflowers, and lilies. It makes a great place for bird watching and flower study. The Friends of Nob Hill Nature Park, in conjunction with the Scappoose Bay Watershed Council, hold volunteer work parties twice yearly where they work on removal of invasive plants, including English ivy, holly and blackberries. Amenities include a 1/3 mile nature trail loop with three different entrances: one by the wastewater treatment plan and the other two leading from the nearby neighborhoods on 3rd and 4th Street.

Parking is allowed at the city's wastewater treatment plant and at the 3rd street cul-de-sac access point.
