    Bike the Levees is back on August 27th! The Multnomah County Drainage District would like to thank the community for joining us at the first event in June and are excited to bring this event back! Did you know there are 27-miles of levees along the lower Columbia River? These levees reduce the risk of flooding for tens of thousands of jobs and households, places of cultural and historical significance, and hundreds of acres of parks and natural areas. Join us for a unique opportunity to learn about this hidden infrastructure, as well as the History of the Vanport Flood of 1948 – a tragic event that displaces thousands of residents. Learn how partners are working together to improve the flood protection system and reduce the risk of catastrophic flood events in the future. Details - Food and refreshments included! - Bring your own bike - 5.5 mile ride Register online to participate in this year’s Bike the Levees Event: https://www.mcdd.org/event/bike-the-levees/
