Sauvie Island lighthouse is Oregon’s smallest; it’s an easy year-round hike

Drive out to Sauvie Island, take Reeder Road all the way to the end, and hike the Warrior Point Trail three miles until it emerges from the forest onto the beach. There you’ll see it: Warrior Rock Lighthouse, the smallest lighthouse in Oregon.

The journey to reach the tiny Columbia River lighthouse, found near the northern tip of Sauvie Island, is beautiful yet understated, and a perfect year-round adventure close to Portland.
