The Unique Willamette River

The Willamette is one of the few rivers that flow north rather than south in the U.S. Enjoy wildlife that includes black tail deer, beaver, and the glorious bald eagle. View flora and fauna and breathtaking scenery of both the Cascades and Oregon Coast Range.

The Willamette River is a tributary of the Columbia River. The name is derived from the French pronunciation of a Clackamas Indian village. The Willamette is 187 miles long, lying entirely in northwestern Oregon.

Willamette River History

Its lush valleys are fed by prolific rainfall on the western side of the Cascades, forming one of the most fertile agricultural regions of North America. It was the destination for many if not most of the immigrants along the Oregon Trail. Part of the Willamette Floodplain was established as a National Natural Landmark in 1987. The river was later named as one of ten national American Heritage Rivers.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition missed the mouth of the Willamette River both on their descent of the Columbia and on their return trip. It was only after receiving directions from Native Peoples along the Sandy River that they learned about the Willamette. William Clark returned down the Columbia and entered the Willamette River in April 1806

The Beautiful McKenzie River

The McKenzie River is spring-fed from the Cascades and is known for its cold, crystal-clear waters. On our trip to Armitage Park, we merge onto the McKenze where it joins the Willamette River just southwest of Coburg.

The McKenzie was named for Scottish explorer Donald Mackenzie who traveled through this watershed in the early 1800s. Today, the sparkling pure waters of the river are the primary drinking water source for Eugene.
