3/21/2026 - Willamette River, Cathedral Park, Portland, OR

Time: 2.58 hours

Distance: 9 miles

 

We put into the Willamette River at Cathedral Park and paddled up-river for just over an hour before turning back. The day started sunny and cool but clouds and some wind moved in just about the time we turned back giving us a bit of a bumpy ride on the return trip. The security around the shipyards where three different US Navy vessels were docked hassled us a bit trying to get us to go further into the middle of the river but we passed by quickly and that was the end of it. All an all a good trip.
