Notes | This report summarizes the status of recreational boating in Oregon circa 1975. The Willamette and Columbia Rivers were the most heavily used waterways in the state. Most pleasure boats were used for recreational fishing, with waterskiing and cruising as other major activities. The size of pleasure boats was increasing. Problems included overcrowding at boating facilities, a lack of law enforcement, and a need for more public restrooms. |
