Buena Vista

Buena Vista is an unincorporated community along the Willamette River in Polk County, Oregon, sitting roughly seven miles south-southeast of Independence. It serves as the western landing point for the Buena Vista Ferry, which remains the site's most notable feature and practical draw for visitors.

As a ghost town, the community is a quiet, sparsely populated spot rather than a bustling destination. Visitors come primarily to experience the river setting and the historic ferry crossing rather than any developed attractions or amenities.
