Salmon? Right here in the city?

Yes! This lower stretch of the Willamette River and its tributaries is a critical habitat corridor for native migratory fish including endangered salmon.

 

 

Where smaller creeks meet the river, the cool and calm flows at those confluences offer resting areas and rearing habitat.
