Water Obstruction: Willamette River below Clearwater Landing
Water Obstruction: Willamette River below Clearwater Landing
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office is advising the public of an obstruction on the Willamette River approximately one quarter of a mile below Clearwater landing. A tree has come down across the channel rendering it unnavigable safely. Recreational boaters are urged to avoid this section of river until the hazard can be mitigated. Anyone insistent on floating this section of the river are cautioned to stay as far river left as possible and consider portaging (exiting the river) when passing the hazard.
