Lower Row is a great fun run. Lots of moderate rapids, and quick. Close to home. Thanks for the video. I ran all those just yesterday with a small group.

Why would you portage deadline falls???

The bottom section of the Canoe Canal and some other stretches upstream, are part of the Patterson Slough. The main flow of the Willamette went through there until 1895, when a major flood changed the riverbed to where it is today. The other sections were dug deeper and connected, to build the canal in 1973. At the top end of the lower section, a part branches off to the left and goes under a bridge. A friend and I once paddled our kayaks all the way up to where it goes through a large culvert under Interstate 5. It continues east through Springfield, where it is the main drainage canal for that city.

thx, I'm about to try this in a folding kayak for the first time in I want to try to figure out the short route I'm going, I wish I could see on the map where are you got in and where is the portage points are on the canal I don't understand, sometimes it seems like you were going up river and sometimes downriver... I really don't understand what you were doing the one time you put the front of your kayak into the rushing waterfall? That seemed dangerous 😬 Anyway, thanks for the video... It's definitely helpful, or it makes me feel better anyway I think I can do it, minus the slides that you went on 😅

I am doing this soon! But, I think it's on a boat.. maybe kayak? wow, fun!

Where did you put in? Below the dam? And how long did this take?

You had a camera mishap at Spencer’s, but how was your run?

Where is the put in and take out for this run?

Nice

Thanks. I'm a 72 yo female and was wondering about this route. Looks easy.

Wonder if I’m allowed to use my small Jon boat with electric trolling motor. Probably not but I have a torn up shoulder making kayaking difficult.

Killer! I need to do the same thing. i live over by Florence. Real pain to get someone to go with me. Great idea to stash the boat and take bus.

Nice vid, I’d rather hear the river.

Good stuff.

Nice rapids, groovy tunes~

Fun video you put together! Thanks for sharing it!

Yah freakin’ hoo.

Dope brace!!!! Your skills on the water and sketchy situations are impeccable bro. Handled it like a boss

Great footage! What month was this?

Hey i'm from philomath just moved here a year ago, thanks for showing the run!

What flow do you think is a minimum for kayaking this section?

If you ran that in 2021+ all those trees are gone along almost the entire highway due to wildfire

Really love this run! Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

I really appreciate your videos, John Harmon!

Wow! Is this above or below Fall Creek Reservoir?

That was so great! I have always wondered what lies beyond the portage area crossing over into Springfield just under the I-5 bridge area- on the canoe canal that is. It was also cool to see where you got out and made it back the main parking lot. Thanks so much for posting!

At 1:40 you've just passed Autzen and the ducks are scurrying away from you, and so you say...?

That shuttle rig!👌🏼

Nice vid bro. If you can yopu might want to hook up with Pete(River King) He has a channel on youtube. River Kings. He is in South Carolina. Keep the vids coming bro.

Where do you put in at?

I think they call that tight gorge the Butte Crack. If they don't, they should.

awesome, just got a kayak. i live near clearwater park.

Fuckin' sweet!

Nice Vids of the Beautiful Breitenbush River, one of the BEST Oregon Rivers with it’s clear water, clean rapids (Most of the time when the logs are gone) and nice drops from start to finish!

you sub me john Harmon and i well sub you

I need to take this up. Eugene has a lot of beauty.. Recommendations of what type of gear and kyak to purchase.

What class is this section?

What’s the best time of year to hit this? I was just there today. Looks bad ass!

It looks like that route is about 6 miles, did it take you guys 2-3 hours? Water looks like it's flowing pretty good.

Thanks for the ideas for put in and take out spots!

Thanks for posting this video. I always wondered what that section of river looked like.

:)

Sick brace!

Excellent compilation! I can see why you won the award. Great variety, cool story arc, perfect tunes, etc. Some lovely water, along with a few really nice boofs, and a log-jam swim that had my heart rate increasing! Thanks for posting this John!

I really enjoyed this. Thanks!

Thanks for posting, I had made it up to West D Boat Ramp and was contemplating going down the Willamette to my starting point. Was reassuring to see that you had used the same spot that I had marked on the map as a potential take-out location. Great loop for a couple hour paddle close to home.

Nice run Johnny!

Very nice and lots of fun! Thumbs up from Ireland! :)

Thanks, just moved here, going to give this a shot.
