  • Elk Rock is a magical place. The island is the tip of formation that used to be the top of a huge mountain (subsumed into the earth, and I have heard taller than Mt. Hood). Legend has it that the island was once home to speakeasies and brothels during prohibition. Wonderful place to go hike, wander and explore. Only possible to get to when the water is low enough to walk across the peninsula. Winter = no go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elk_Rock_Island http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?PropertyID=113&action=ViewPark
