2/13/2022 - Willamette River, Stevens Point, Portland, OR

Time: 2.9 hours

Distance: 8.52 miles

We put into the Willamette River from Stevens Point and paddled up-river to Foothills Park before turning back. Once again the weather was fantastic and we lamented having to wear out wet-suits. River traffic was non-existent for the first half of the trip though in the second half it did pick up.
