This is one of the major rivers in Oregon, Willamette River, and not surprisingly, it is found in the Willamette Valley. The Willamette Valley is the ‘banana belt’ of the state, in the northern part of Oregon. The climate is mild in the winter and hot in the summer. This river is a favorite for fishermen who fish for trout, steelhead, and occasionally even sturgeon.
The river also accounts for a huge amount of the irrigation water that is used in the valley. Among the more water-intensive crops grown here are blueberries, allowing Oregon to be the top producer of blueberries in the US. Blackberries and Marionberries are also grown in huge amounts. Most of these last two grow wild.
