Small town charm, life on the waterfront, easy access to big city amenities - all of these describe
the "City of Dogwoods". Located between historical Oregon City and Portland, on Highways 99E and
224 in Clackamas County, Milwaukie offers all that and more to visitors and residents. Named as
one of the 50 best places to raise a family, Milwaukie provides a clean environment, thriving
job market, good transportation, schools and health care, and many cultural opportunities.
Recreational excitement includes whitewater kayaking on the Clackamas River, or fishing, hiking
or mountain biking in one of the more than 100 parks in Clackamas County. Access to the Willamette
River waterfront is available via the Jefferson Street boat ramp and Elk Rock Island. Swimming
and other water fun is offered in the state-of-the-art North Clackamas Aquatics Park, which has a
wave pool, lap and diving pools, kiddie pool and spa.
The Milwaukie area is also the home of the Bomber, an authentic World War II B17G bomber.
Located on McLoughlin Boulevard, it serves as a local landmark and a reminder of the courageous
men and women who served so valiantly during WWII.
Whole grain flours, organic grains and delicious meals are the specialties of the house at

natural grains ground on century-old French buhr millstones. Many specialty flours, whole
grain foods and mixes are available for purchase in the mill store. Kids especially enjoy
