Full Name:: Nick Marshall Narrative:: Out and back paddle from Willamette Park West Linn to Molalla River State Park (total distance 13 miles). we will need to maintain a steady pace since the distance is on the longer side. (3+mph)
Meet at 8:45am at the non-motorized boat ramp at Willamette Park in West Linn https://maps.app.goo.gl/wUieLzwQAitVuMq29 We will launch at 9:15am, and paddle upstream to Molalla River State Park, where we will break for lunch. Expect to be off the river by 2:30pm. Bring snacks/water/lunch. Water is at a temperature 50-55F so immersion protection is required.
