Indian Creek Natural Area is a small but ecologically valuable preserve in Southwest Portland. The area protects sections of Indian Creek, a tributary that feeds into larger watershed systems. It contains riparian zones with alder and cottonwood, providing essential habitat for amphibians and birds. Efforts have been made to improve water quality and bank stability, contributing to larger urban watershed health. Although not heavily visited, the site plays an important ecological role.
