Itinerary description

A two hour casual / intermediate paddle on the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. If you haven't run a river before on a SUP I'd strongly encourage and easier route before attempting Clearwater to Island Park Easy put in and take out, don’t forget a parks pass.

Paddlers should be comfortable balancing, understand proper paddling technique and safety. Belonging should be secured. Good opportunity to practice paddling, bracing, riding some small waves, eddy turns and enjoying the Springfield, Oregon back yard.

Waypoints

Clearwater Park Boat Ramp

An easy put in location with bathrooms and typically plenty of parking.

1st set of Riffles

Faster current and more riffles

Some peaceful stretches

Beautiful views and some twists and turns

Plenty of stops along the way

Avoid log jams, pick your best path

Stay river right

A shelf drop extends most of the left side of the river. Stay river right.

Right right, looking left

A downstream view of the shelf drop

Why river right was the best choice.

One of my favorite stops

A perfect place to stop and take in the views. Plenty of rocks to sit or jump off of. Pisgah is just south east of here and the coast fork confluence is just down river.
