Don't forget to head down to Roger's Landing and hang out for a day on the Willamette River. Just head down River st. and it will lead you right to the water. The Willamette River is a very popular river for water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, jet skiing, or just floating down river on your party boat. The river is never too populated during the weekdays but during the summer weekends are usually pretty crowded so just make sure you know your boater safety. There are many docks along the river and always friendly people to lend you a hand if you run out of gas.
