Willamina Creek

2026-02-11 Priscilla and I ran a short stretch from Willamina Creek Road bridge to Blackwell Park at a bit over 300 cfs. This was enough for an after work run, the nice green surf wave next to the bedrock wall/adjacent to the chicken farm was still in. The slide was low but still flowed. There was a large tree across the river just upstream and out of sight from Blackwell Park that we ducked on the left but would need to be portaged at some flows. The section upstream of the pavement/gravel change on the shuttle road looked very low, maybe runnable, but likely not worthwhile.
