About 5.5 miles of the Mary‘s River near Avery Park to its confluence with the Willamette River. No one paddles this section due to a lack of access. I scouted and found a public spot to get on the river near Country Club Hill. Expect wood. At the present low flow wood is manageable. You will need a maneuverable boat and should have cold weather attire. Launch is steep & primitive. There was a spot in the river bank where a mud spout from the Cascadia Subduction is exposed, you can only see this feature from the river even though there is a frequently travel path above. A quirky fun little paddle. Register on this website for a Friday evening Email with details about the Shuttle, Launch and Takeout.

7 mile run. Evenly spaced class 2 rapids with calm water in between. Salmonberry drop (class 3) should be pretty easy at a lower water level. This is a lower water level, so should be a fairly easy run. We can run it at lower than what SS says. Scouted it Saturday (4/13) and it can still lose some more water.
