The Willamette River separates Portland, but also supports Portland.
Many people use the river for fun and relaxation, while others rely on it for their livelihood.
Come aboard the Captain Conner and travel from Willamette Falls out to the confluence with the Columbia River. On the boat, you will participate in observation and laboratory stations comparing water samples from the industrial end of the Willamette to the rural part of the Willamette. Learn about commercial shipping, see the largest dry dock west of the Mississippi and take your turn in the pilot house with Captain Gray learning how to navigate a vessel.
