Little Willamette River
The Little Willamette River is a minor tributary of the Willamette River in Linn County in the U.S. state of Oregon. It begins in a gravel pit slightly east of the main stem in a bend of the larger river west of Albany. Flowing generally northeast and roughly parallel to the main stem for about 3 miles (5 km), it enters the Willamette about 121.5 miles (195.5 km) from the larger river's mouth on the Columbia River.[1]
Along its lower course, the Little Willamette flows through Bowers Rock State Park, a 568-acre (230 ha) tract in a riparian forest.[2] The park, largely undeveloped, with primitive trails and no amenities, is part of the Willamette Greenway.[3] The only named tributary of the Little Willamette is Coon Creek, which enters from the left.[1]
