Due to recent rains and higher than normal river levels for the Willamette River this time of year, sections of the floating boat docks at Wallace Marine Park have been temporarily removed. The removal is required to prevent the floating dock sections from rising above their pylons which could create a hazard for collecting debris, damage, or being carried away by the river’s current as levels rise. The docks will be reinstalled as water levels recede in the coming days.

There is no concern for flooding on the Willamette River in Salem in the current forecast. Up-to-the-minute stream and river data for the Salem area can be found at OneRain.
