6/14/2025 - Willamette River, Willamette Park, West Linn, OR

Time: 3.05 hours

Distance: 8.2 miles

 

We put into the Willamette River at Willamette Park in West Linn on a warm day that also happened to by Lynda's birthday. We paddled up river about 4 miles before turning back. The wind picked up a bit the last 1/2 hour but the rest of the trip was calm and there were only a few other paddlers on the water. A nice day.
