10/7/2023 - Willamette River, Kelly Point Park, Portland, OR

Time: 3.03 hours

Distance: 9.84 miles

We put into the end of the Columbia Slough at Kelly Point Park, paddled the short distance to the Willamette River then up-river to the St. John's Bridge before turning back. We managed to find one more nice day before the rains start and temperatures were in the 70's with very light wind. There were a fair amount of boats on the river but the paddle was still largely pretty pleasant.
