| WELCOME! |
From its modest beginning as the site of an iron smelter, Lake Oswego has become one of Oregon's premier residential communities. Fine homes nestled amid towering Douglas firs overlook 405-acre Oswego Lake, where residents can enjoy boating, bathing and other recreational activities. The city boasts amenities atypical for a city of thirty-five thousand, including tennis and swimming centers, full-service police and fire departments, an 18-hole golf course and schools that rank among the best in the country. Located eight miles south of Portland on the Willamette River, Lake Oswego is close by all that the City of Roses has to offer, yet possesses a sophisticated tranquility that serves as a welcome respite after a day at the office.

A Lake Oswego to Portland Advisory Committee is reviewing transportation alternatives, including a bicycle trail along the current trolley corridor, which would create an essential connection and auto-free, level ride along the river. |
