Bring your own boat or reserve a seat in one of our rafts. Afterwards, please join us for a volunteer appreciation party at Alton Baker Park (Eugene) at 1:30pm in the main event shelter.
WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, October 4, 2025 | 8:30AM - 12:30PM Please meet at River House Outdoor Center at 301 N. Adams Street. Street parking only – please do not block or park across from River House driveway. We will help load rafts and gear and use City of Eugene shuttle transportation to come back to our cars at end of day.
DETAILS: Please be on time! We will aim to get on the water by 9:00AM beginning with a safety briefing and clean up plan before heading out. Please dress for the weather and getting wet (no cotton!), bring water, and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes. 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. Minors 12-17 are also welcome to join this event if they will be accompanied by an adult in their boat who is responsible for the minor and is authorized to sign their participation waiver.
