Swan Island Boat Ramp is a small wharf at the Swan Island Basin. Found close to the picturesque Willamette River, the ramp is occasionally used by boaters and fishing enthusiasts. An ideal spot to stroll by and escape the city buzz, it proffers some beautiful views of Portland's northern landscape.
The 12-story high Jackson Tower was initially referred to as The Oregon Journal Building. It was a historic office building in Downtown Portland, Oregon. It was built to carry on the operations of the now out-of-date Oregon Journal. The building was renamed Jackson Tower in 1951 as a tribute to the newspaper’s founder, Charles Samuel Jackson. The elegant tower boasts an enormous public clock. During the night, the tower is illuminated with thousands of marquee lights that paint a beautiful site. A visit to the Jackson Tower is undoubtedly a great visual delight.
