| WHAT: Join Willamette Riverkeeper and Eugene Rec for a downstream float and river cleanup from the River House Outdoor Center to the Beltline Bridge takeout. We will collect trash from both the water and the adjacent riverbanks. Reserve a seat in one of our rafts or bring along your own boat!
WHEN & WHERE: Tuesday, January 13th, 2026 | 8:30AM - 1:00PM Please meet at the River House Outdoor Center, 301 N. Adams Street, at 8:30AM. We will leave personal vehicles there and paddle down to the Beltline Bridge takeout. A City of Eugene bus will provide shuttle transportation back to the put-in at the end of the day. If you are bringing your own boat, we will be able to transport your watercraft back to the put-in on top of our raft trailer.
DETAILS: Please be on time – we will start with boat prep and a safety briefing, and we will aim to be on the water by 8:45am. If you are running late, please call event coordinator Luke Stuntz (617-834-8727). Make sure to dress for the weather and the water – it will likely be cold and wet! Please bring your own water bottle and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes that you are comfortable getting wet and muddy. Willamette Riverkeeper will provide trash bags, gloves, and trash grabbers. PFDs are required and must be worn at all times on the river to participate in this event. PFDs will be provided for those reserving a seat in a raft.
BYOB? Please be proficient paddling in Class II moving water for this river segment.
