The Willamette provides impor-tant irrigation for the agricultural industry while supporting a variety of recreational opportunities from boating and water skiing to fishing and nature viewing. You can expect to see something different around every bend of the River , from an osprey swooping in for lunch to a grace-ful blue heron surveying the scenery; a deer on the shoreline lapping up a drink of water to a beaver swimming along the shore. The Willamette is also home to a variety of fish including sturgeon, cut-throat trout and so visible is the importance of this beautiful River in our state s history.
