4/21/2024 - Willamette River, Cathedral Park, Portland, OR

Time: 3.15 hours

Distance: 10.49 miles

We put into the Willamette River at Cathedral Park under the St. John's Bridge in Portland, OR. We paddled up-river to the I405 Bridge before turning back. The day was a bit overcast but a pleasant temperature with very light winds. There was a fair amount of river traffic but mostly the boats passed us by quite a ways out so we didn't experience much in the way of wake swells. Overall a nice paddle.
