Activity Title:: Hebb Park to Willamette Park-One way trip
Date of Activity:: 9/20/2025
Narrative:: Join Tom Waldron and I for a one way trip on the Willamette River. We will be launching from Hebb Park about 5 miles upstream from Willamette Park in West Linn. This will be a pre OOPS Potluck and Gear Swap trip so we are planning on finishing at Willamette Park by 11AM to be ready for the event. . This should be an easy trip with a bit of current assist plus some exploration in the Narrows along the way. Unless conditions change before the trip, I’m going to rate this as a Level 1 trip. Hope you can join us for the paddle and potluck/gear swap after the trip.
