Living here

Rowing, fishing, and boating on the reservoir, with the Cascades an hour further up the highway.

Schools

Pleasant Hill School District serves much of the area.

Local knowledge

Things you learn by living here.

  • Dexter Reservoir is a flood control project, so the water level is managed and changes through the year. What you see in June is not what you see in October.
