Trip Report

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is developing a new facility at the Overlook in the Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge.
The new Nature Center will have an indoor classroom, a covered outdoor learning space, restrooms as well as parking. Normally when riders cycle this area, they park at this location. Currently the area is closed and under construction and scheduled to be completed this Fall. With all that said we parked at the Buena Vista Ferry Landing. We rode from there circling the refuge crossing the Willamette River and then into the City of Independence were we had lunch in the city park. After food and drink we meandered on the other side of the river to the ferry returning to our vehicles.
