Willamette River — Local services in Independence

Pretty Great. I was once told by my teacher, Mr. Sid, that allegedly witnessed the formation of the Willamette River 35 million years ago with his own eyes, that The Willamette River was created was created as an affect of The Juan de Fuca plate subducting beneath the North American plate. The subduction zone causes many frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions which over time happened to create a valley. The watershed that formed in this valley anchored around The Willamette River which moves on to contribute up to 15 percent of the total output of the Columbia river into the Pacific ocean. The alleged two head irradiated fish that call the Willamette River home are fun to catch and release (not fit for consumption) and kayaking on the crystal clear (for the first quarter of a millimeter) water is a relaxing time. While driving your wake boat you can see the many wild tires sunning themselves on the beach on on trees, many of which were probably "free range" tires you let out of your site because you drive a wake boat, and you wake board, because you can't handle an actual challenge, but most importantly, because you hate the river and want to cause more erosion. But when you're driving your nice little fishing boat or your regular good boat you can see many herons, eagles, beavers, dear, and other wildlife because you're not eroding the shore as much and you also are not scaring off all the wildlife with your trashy music taste and loudness. Good watersports include water skiing, inner tubing and pretty much anything else except for that one thing, stated earlier. Floating down the river is also a fun activity as long as you stay near the river banks because sometimes the river can get busy with boat traffic, but most of the time boats are nice and try not to run you over. Large fleets of floating parties consisting of mostly floaties like fun islands and inner tubes with a boat or kayak for mobility, one trash bin, two coolers, and possibly even a floaty with a grill on it are a great way to spend a weekend (some parts of the river are better for these floating parties than others). That's pretty much all that needs to be said about the river, it's cool and great, there is a reason 2/3 of Oregon's population lives around the river, and it's a major part of what makes...

Me a few buddies of mine went here and we had loads of fun I would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to have a good time with their friends.

The only thing is depending on what time of day, year, and location you go the water currents get pretty fast so if you don't have good footing and aren't strong enough on your feet then it's possible you could get swept out and possibly lose your life. So be careful and go with friends I would also recommend that you get one of those phone things to put your phone in so water doesn't break your phone but you can still use it in case you do get swept out and survive you have a way to call someone and know where you are.

Overall a great experience just be careful if the current is strong and go with friends who could help you if...

Took my Dog Yoshi walking at the Keiser Water park. Although we went there last summer, I didnt know it ran on the west side parralel with the gorgeous Willamette River! Huge and gorgeous! Definetly recommend to all bird watchers and dog walkers. The sun reflecting off the rapid moving water is beautiful. I suggest bringing your own water for your pet, as the fountains are turned off, which is ironic, since it is a 'Water Park'. Maybe to prevent...
