STRATEGIC PLAN FOR WATER-BASED TOURISM IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY, OREGON THE OPPORTUNITIES
6-5

Willamette River Corridor Physical
Improvements

Recommendation 4: Wilsonville Memorial Park Improve Day Use Area & Access
Wilsonville Memorial Park provides an excellent opportunity for the Town to increase river-based tourism. River access, picnic areas, and a range of
public facilities should be considered here. City residents should be involved in designing the new access area.
Recommendation 5: Improve Boat Ramp at Molalla River SP Canby
A broken concrete boat ramp is deteriorated, over grown, and is now being used as a fishing platform. It will likely continue to degrade until it is a
safety hazard. Boats currently launch adjacent to this ramp on a dirt, single lane put-in. This entire area needs to be redesigned and reconstructed.
Recommendation 6: Provide camping at Molalla River SP Canby
Additional campsites are needed throughout the county and this state park is an ideal location for them.
Recommendation 7: Hiking Trails connecting Canby with the River
Connecting village center with the river encourages visitors to linger longer and helps local businesses to leverage the river as an attraction.
Recommendation 8: Connect West Linn Downtown with Willamette Park
Willamette Park is close walking distance to West Linn’s commercial downtown. Visitors to the river should be encouraged to visit main street and
vice versa. This is done through commercial promotions, events, camping, parades, walking tours, and signage.
