We recognize and feel the financial pressures that so many are facing in our communities and in our watershed. We try to keep the costs of our programs and rentals as reasonable as we can, but we realize that cost is still a barrier for many.

Beginning this Friday, we're offering $30 3-hour rentals (including paddles and life vests) for any kayak, canoe, or standup paddleboard every Friday throughout the Summer of 2026.

Visit us at Cook Family Park in Tigard all summer long and experience the joy that a day on the Tualatin River brings. Make your reservations now, and see you on the river!

TRK + Willamette Riverkeeper volunteers joined forces to search for plastic pellets (aka nurdles) that can escape from Oregon plastic manufacturing facilities. The best part? We found zero pellets at Wilamette Park, the confluence of our two rivers.

We did spot…
• 3 bald eagles
• Salmon traveling up the Tualatin
• Ducks!
• Styrofoam
• Fishing line

We are happy to be a part of the 2nd annual International Plastic Pellet Count!
