Elk Rock Island is a treasured natural resource, connected to Downtown Milwaukie, and home to many unique habitats and rich with a history of the communities that grew up around it. Milwaukie Bay Park is the most visited park in Clackamas County; it’s completion a focus of the community since the early 2000’s. The Little Float Milwaukie connects these two community resources by way of the scenic Willamette River.
In the evening there will be a ticketed dinner hosted on Elk Rock Island by our local volunteer Island Ecologists and Stewards followed by a walking tour of the island and its special and distinct habitats and histories of the Island not commonly known. We invited floaters and non-floaters to join us in the park until 8pm when we will wrap up the day’s festivities.
Proceeds from the Little Float dinner will go directly to the Milwaukie Parks Foundation and be earmarked for their restoration and maintenance efforts on the Island. The Parks Foundation is a 501c3 non-profis and purchases and donations may be eligible for tax deductions.
Thanks to all of you who make our community and spaces so special. We look forward to seeing you all in the river and at the Park on August 2nd, 2025.
