Portland Willlamette River Overview
-
'The Willamette River Basin is the largest watershed in the state, covering more than
11,500 square miles. Portland occupies only a small fraction of the river's drainage
basin, about one-half of one percent, but it is the most urbanized area. Native salmon,
steelhead and other fish and wildlife species live within Portland's urban boundary,
and also migrate through Portland to other parts of the Willamette River Basin,
Columbia River Basin, and beyond.'
