Welcome to Lake Oswego

An outsider could easily see pictures of Lake Oswego and make the assumption that it's a secluded gem tucked away from any metro area. Just 15 minutes south of Downtown Portland, this idyllic city boasts top-rated schools, a vibrant food scene, and a community bustling with activities year-round. 

While the lake itself is private to residents, the many parks offering access to the Willamette and Tualatin Rivers provide year-round water views and activities, contributing to the lush greenery that makes this a Pacific Northwest treasure. 

Two hours to the east, and you're on Mt. Hood for all your alpine activities; the same distance to the west, and you're on the coast of Oregon. Don't want to leave home? In Lake Oswego, there's always an opportunity to get involved in an event. Whether you're an adventure seeker or someone looking to enjoy your local scene, Lake Oswego has something for everyone year-round.
