10/12/2024 - Willamette River, Willamette Park, Portland, OR

Time: 2.93 hours

Distance: 10.09 miles

We put into the Willamette River at Willamette Park on a sunny and calm fall day. We paddled around the east side of Ross Island then down-river to the I405 bridge before paddling back up-river, around the west side of Ross Island and back to our launch point. There were quire a few paddlers on the water but the boat traffic was light making for a really nice paddle.
