5/28/2023 - Willamette River, Willamette Park, West Linn, OR

Time: 3.4 hours

Distance: 9.52 miles

We put into the Willamette River from Willamette Park in West Linn, OR on a beautiful sunny day. We made our way up-river for about two hours exploring along the way before turning back. The temperatures were right around 70, the winds were light and there was almost no river traffic. A perfect day of paddling.
