Willamette River Tours and Activities

Exploring the beauty and industrial heritage of the Pacific Northwest by kayak really gives you a sense of the enormity of the region and the challenges of the emigrants as they built a new life in the wilderness. The now abandoned Blue Heron paper mill below Willamette Falls is scheduled for redevelopment and can only be fully appreciated from the river. #greatoutdoors

Walk across bridge... great view!!!

The view from our Champagne Brunch River Cruise on the Spirit of Portland. There was a break in the rain so we had a few moments to enjoy the outer deck. #portland #stunningstructures
