Henry Hagg Lake is a reservoir created in 1973 by construction of the Scroggins Dam, covers 1,132 acres when full, and is operated by the Tualatin Valley Irrigation District. The reservoir provides water to the TVID and the cities of Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Lake Oswego and also provides the Tualatin River 50% of its total volume during summer months. Because the Tualatin River does not have snow melt as a resource, it relies on water from Henry Hagg Lake to maintain fish and wildlife habitats.

About Community Exchange Cycle Touring Club

We are a Portland Oregon based non-profit organization (IRS Status Pending). Our mission is to promote global peace through cross-border and cross-cultural exchange bicycle tours.

We host community bike repair/spin/safety clinics, rides, and tours. Our goal is to build a global network of bicycle touring clubs, facilitate the initiation of reciprocated exchange tours between these clubs, and increase friendship-building among diverse cultures.

We encourage every cyclist and potential world traveler to join us in connecting global communities by riding our bicycles and sharing our local scenery, culture, cuisine, language, and hospitality.

We hope to meet, ride, and share with you soon!
