After years of planning and countless rounds of community input, the design for a public riverwalk alongside the Willamette River leading to Willamette Falls in Oregon City is complete. Cut off from public access for over a century, Willamette Falls is the second largest waterfall by volume in North America. The riverwalk design will reveal a network of promenades and lofted pathways lacing through the site, providing visitors with an intimate experience of the river, falls and native habitat — while providing opportunities to learn about the area’s rich cultural and environmental history.
