4/26/2020 - Willamette River, Willamette Park, West Linn, OR

Time: 3.83 hours

Distance: 10.8 miles

We put in again at Willamette Park. The boat ramp and main park were closed due to Covid-19 so river traffic was very light consisting almost entirely of kayaks and canoes. We tried exploring a route through islands on the South side of the Willamette that we hadn't seen in previous trips and discovered the water was quite low requiring us to portage around four different points.
