The Willamette River Water Trail

Distinguished as one of 40 National Water Trails in the United States, and one of 2 in Oregon, the Willamette River Water Trail is an assemblage of properties that provide access and campsites for paddlers along 187 miles of the mainstem Willamette River, as well as several miles of the Coast Fork Willamette, Middle Fork Willamette, and McKenzie River.
