Alton Baker Park Canoe Canal & 24/7 Wave
Eugene, Oregon
Canoe and Kayak
24/7 is a year round wave. On the North side of Alton Baker Park, running parallel to the Wilammette River is the Canoe Canal. About 1 mile down stream of the intake of the canal is a playspot called 24/7. It offers a place for beginner playboaters (but experienced kayakers) to learn to cartwheel left and right and maybe throw in a loop (if levels are correct).
Put in/ take out: Take W. Centenital Blvd to Aspen st. Take the road all the way to the end and park at the boat ramp. Hike your boat about a mile down stream until you get to the I-5 bridge. Put in on the Canoe Canal. Practice your cartwheels to your hearts content
Flows: 24/7 is “in” almost all year, though optimum flows are usually in the summer months.
