The waters are brownish because of the lumber / logging industries. Eugene is in the heart of the Willamette Vally which has this river running through the middle of it. There are a lot of parks and general riverside attractions. Don't swim in it. More

We followed the river and took many pictures. It's gorgeous. More

There isn't a bad view of the river. It is always changing. Watch for the osprey near Willamette Park. More

Beautiful area everyone should see. Lots of fun activities for everyone. More

The river winds its way in, out and through Eugene, Oregon where I live. I can't imagine living without it. It's a great sports river from fishing to rafting. Very nice bike path winds along the edge of the river from Springfield to Eugene. More

The scenery on the Oregon rivers is hard to beat. Come and check em out, you won't be sorry... More

I love rivers in general, and this is right in my neighborhood. More

We live near the river and go there many times in the summer to swim and enjoy the cooler air. You should bring bug spray as mosquitoes are prevalent. There aren't many place with sand mostly rocky shore line. So, make sure to bring a beach chair or two. The water is clear and clean. More

Clean beautiful sparkling water...a little too cold for my taste but they have no control over that. Sightings f beautiful grazing deer and trout swimming close enough to the surface to reacjh out and grab. If you need to relax and take in God's beauty take an afternoon and raft down a few miles More
