7/16/2023 - Willamette River, Boones Ferry Marina, Wilsonville, OR

Time: 2.8 hours

Distance: 8.79 miles

We put into the Willamette at Boones Ferry Marina and paddled up-river for an hour and a half before turning back. The day was quite warm with temperatures approaching 90 but there was a continuous light breeze which helped to keep it cooler. There was a few boats in the morning but by the time we turned back the river traffic was fairly heavy.
