The Willamette River Festival is featuring a Paddle Parade – a float for all watercraft along a 1/2 mile of river from Alton Baker Park boat ramp to Valley River Center boat ramp in Eugene, Oregon. Folks will dress up their boats for fun and be awarded prizes at the festival’s main site at the River Wood Beach, just across from the Valley River Boat Ramp in Eugene. The Downriver Race will begin in Springfield at Eastgate Woodlands and end at the River Wood Beach in Eugene – approximately 4 miles downstream. This is a most Class I segment with some smaller “Class II” rapids.
