Willamette River, Class 2, Island Park to Beltline

The classic "Eugene Town Run" lengthened a little and weekend posted. 2900cfm at 61 degrees, unprotected immersion is to be avoided. 7.5 miles of a blend of moving class 1 and areas where the river flows through bedrock perking up to big splashy class 2 to 2+ standing waves and play spots. A paddler may be able to select their line and go for the big waves or route clear of waves for a milder flow. There is a weir in this stretch, last year we paddled around the end of it without a portage. Specific points of this route are mild white water, paddlers will need an appropriate paddle craft with their gear secured. Paddlers will need the skill set to have directional control. Not a suitable paddle for a newbie, could be a suitable paddle for a learner with the right gear stepping up to class 2.
