The Willamette River is an integral part of the valley that shares its name. Its banks called to Native Americans and Oregon Trail emigrants for its usefulness. Easy river access has long made it possible to not only travel around Eugene, Corvallis, Albany, and Salem but to deliver crops around the world. And today, 187 miles of wonder await you along the Willamette Water Trail offering an abundance of recreational opportunities year-round.
