4th July Grush Acres tradition
The Willamette River begins in Eugene and flows north and empties into the Colombia River in Portland. Yes, water can flow up.
Borrow or buy your own dingy or kayak and enjoy a relaxing 1hr float between South Corvallis and downtown. Tie off with friends and make it a party. The scenery during your float may include anything from Osprey hawks, the occasional Bald Eagle, to collage kids trying alcohol for the first time. Need a break during your float? Pull off at any of the numerous rock beach or stop by the rope swing to show off your skills.
