Reed Lake is a charming place to take a short hike and enjoy nature right inside the city. In the springtime, you're sure to see adorable ducklings swimming around, and in summer there are wild berries to snack on. Take a book and read on one of the hidden benches, or just meander. (You'll want to some rubber boots for the mud in the wintertime.)

Not to be missed! The best independent bookstore in the country is right here in PDX. Newly renovated, you can easily spend a half day roaming the shelves. Grab a hot coffee at World Cup on the first floor (try the Puddle Jumper blend—our favorite), then let your literary imagination run wild.
