North Fork Silver Creek A Kayaking Adventure
With very high water, logs, continuous drops, waterfalls, and a crazy portage this was truly a adventure to remember. Covey and Eli went into this 8 mile stretch of the North Fork of Silver Creek in southern Oregon not knowing what was in store for them, this was a stream they had never been on before. This video shows clips from the start of the run to the end when Eli drops off Silver Creek falls. It is packed with white water action and a couple of oh s**t moments.

Willamette River: Currents of Change
In April, 1998, KGW presented, in association with the “Beautiful Oregon” organization, a comprehensive documentary of the Willamette River watershed and its effects on pollution, policy and recreation.
The documentary is considered one of the most definitive documentary reviews of the state of the Willamette River since KGW first established reporting on the health of the region’s most important watershed in 1962, with Pollution in Paradise. (
The broadcast included the presentation of the documentary “Currents of Change”, produced by KGW environmental reporter Jon Catton and photojournalist Tim Jacobson, and a one-hour live forum from the House of Representatives Chamber at the Oregon State Capitol with an assembly of state leaders, environmental policy advocates, business leaders as well as children from school systems, who all participated in the dialogue.
The documentary and forum focused on the young Oregonians who would be inheriting the condition of the river and emphasized the importance of the maintaining protections of the waterways and environment for future generations.
Snake River Dams - Why they are There
This video was produced under the direction of the Corps of Engineers Public Affairs Office in Walla Walla with a focus on the commercial importance of the dams and efforts to preserve salmon runs. It is being shown in the wide screen theater at the Ice Harbor Dam visitor center. It is also used as an orientation film for new employees at the Corps Walla Walla District office, that manages the Lower Snake River. Note that the flood control value of the dams is questionable since the dams are run of the river dams with the primary purpose of electrical generation and barge transportation.
Over 200 years ago, Lewis & Clark traveled down the Snake River in pursuit of Thomas Jefferson's dream of a transcontinental water route. The dams on the Snake River are a result of that vision.
Today the entire Snake River is controlled by numerous dams including 4 Corps of Engineer Dams on the Lower Snake, starting with Ice Harbor Dam where the Snake enters the Columbia River. There is on-going controversy on how to manage the Lower Snake and some think the Lower Snake River dams should be removed to improve salmon migration. Because of very small elevation gain, the dams create stagnant pools of very warm water which is detrimental to salmon health.
Seemly off the table is the Hells Canyon complex of dams (managed by the State of Idaho), upstream from the confluence of the Snake and Salmon River. These dams completely block all fish migration to a large part of the State of Idaho.
The Corps does not have the authority to build or remove dams, a common public misconception. Congress authorizes this. The Corps is tasked with building dams for the purpose of transportation, flood control and power generation. While highly controversial, the dams could be removed by the Congress but no bill has been introduced to do so.

The Craziest Idea
2011 was an historic year for rivers. The two dam removal projects that began as crazy ideas 30 years ago kicked off this year on the Elwha and White Salmon Rivers in Washington. These dam removal projects are the largest in history and represent a turning point in the effort to restore freeflowing rivers for salmon, recreation and culture. The climactic moment of the year was the explosive breach of 125 foot tall Condit Dam on the White Salmon, captured using video and timelapse photography techniques.
360° drive along the Clackamas Wild and Scenic River
Flowing northwest from its sources high in the Cascade Mountains, the Clackamas River is one of the region’s most picturesque; and its fish, wildlife, vegetation, recreation opportunities, and historic resources led Congress to designate it as one of America’s wild and scenic rivers in 1988.
Of the 47 miles of the river that carry the wild and scenic designation, the Bureau of Land Management manages a small-but-important portion: six-tenths of a mile of river adjacent to Oregon State Hwy. 224, from a point west of the U.S. Forest Service’s Lazy Bend Campground to a half mile above the river’s bend westward at Big Cliff.
The area is most recognizable by the green Pratt truss bridge at Memaloose Road, now closed to vehicular traffic, which sits atop the river and connects walkers to the day-use area on the river’s south side.
In the 1800s, Congress granted this and a checkerboard of many alternate sections of land to the Oregon and California (O & C) Railroad for sale to settlers. In 1917, when the railroad company failed to meet the grant's terms, Congress reclaimed these lands and they returned to federal ownership as public lands.
The river’s steep southern bank – rising to more than 1,400 feet – shows evidence of past logging, authorized in 1937 when Congress directed that the O & C lands be managed for permanent forest production under the principles of sustained yield management.
More recently, a wildfire burned throughout the area, leaving many dead and scarred trees throughout the landscape.
Today, this section of the Clackamas Wild and Scenic River offers breathtaking mountain views, replete with native wildflowers and wildlife, as well as direct access for fishing, rafting and hiking.
For more information, contact the BLM Salem office at 503-375-5646, or the Estacada Ranger Station at 503-630-6861.

Grande Ronde Wild and Scenic River!
Welcome to the Grand Ronde wild and scenic river!
The Grande Ronde River is located in northeast Oregon and flows through a mix of privately owned lands and those administered by the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service. At 43.8 miles (70.5 km) in length, the federally protected section begins at the confluence with the Minam River near Rondowa and ends near the Oregon-Washington border.
The entire river corridor is a complex ecosystem rich in unique natural features, history, spectacular scenery and a variety of plant and animal life. The upper river, from Minam to Troy, consists of steep basalt canyons and ascending ridges within a dense evergreen forest, portions of which are only accessible by boat. The meandering curves of the middle river parallel a seldom-traveled county road, as the canyon begins to widen and forests yield to open ridges and steep range lands. The lower river section in Washington is characterized by sparsely vegetated, rugged terrain and contains the history of ancient peoples and pioneer homesteads amongst a few active ranches.
Designated Reach:
October 28, 1988. From its confluence with the Wallowa River to the Oregon-Washington border.
Classification/Mileage:
Wild — 26.4 miles; Recreational — 17.4 miles; Total — 43.8 miles.
Scenery
The Grande Ronde River corridor contains a diversity of landforms and vegetation that progress from largely forested vistas to forested stringers—patches of residual pre-fire forest, separated by native bunchgrass slopes. River users see a largely untouched viewshed in the upper river reach, while the lower portion flows through open, grass covered hills with forested pockets and tributary canyons.
Recreation
There are many recreational opportunities on the Grande Ronde. Those judged to be exceptional in quality include anadromous and resident fishing; floating (rafting, canoeing and kayaking for overnight use); and big game viewing and hunting. Visitors are able to enjoy an unusually long float season for a free-flowing river, from ice breakup in the spring to freeze up in the fall. Trips offer a rare multiple-day float for those with beginner and intermediate skills.
The primary launch site for the Wallowa and Grande Ronde corridors, as well as the location of Bureau of Land Management's river station, are located on state lands at Minam on the Wallowa River. Additional access points include Mud Creek, Troy and Boggan's Oasis. Primitive campsites along the river are on a first-come, first-served basis. Many portions of the river are roadless and primitive with limited access by vehicles.
Fisheries
The Grande Ronde River is a nationally renowned sport fishery, one of the top three in the region. The mainstem and its major tributaries provide spawning and rearing habitat for wild and hatchery stock of spring and fall chinook, summer steelhead and rainbow trout. Fishing is excellent, even late in the season after the water levels have receded.
Wildlife
The area hosts an exceptional diversity of species, in part because the river corridor provides critical wintering habitat for bighorn sheep, elk, mule deer and whitetail deer. Other species contributing to the impressive viewing opportunities include black bear, cougar and mountain goats. The river corridor also serves as a sensitive wintering area for bald eagles.
