Willamette Greenway
Clip: Season 24 Episode 2413 | 8m 55sVideo has Closed Captions
The Willamette Greenway opens the river to many but is a fraction of the initial proposal.
One of the boldest plans ever proposed in Oregon called for a park 200 miles long, lining the banks of the Willamette River all the way from Springfield from Portland. The plan hit opposition from farmers when the state started seizing farmland. The Greenway still exists but in a much different form today.
