The old iron smelter is a real piece of Lake Oswego (and Portland) history. The area was entirely redone and some very nice facilities added in recent decades. While it's become a good place for warm weather recreation and all, it has lost much of that "timeless" feel it used to have, when one could have the whole place to oneself and wander about for hours, going inside the smelter, hunting for obsidian along the riverfront beach, and exploring the trails across the creek (and even finding an old arrowhead or two if one was lucky and kept one's eyes peeled). This is all to be expected over time, and overall the changes made to the whole area (including the rest of George Rogers) have been quite positive and have made Lake Oswego and even better town.
Cool park along the river with hiking trails, history, water access (with loaner life vests for kids) and picnic areas.
