Springing from its headwaters in northern Oregon's Cascade Range, the cold, clear waters of the Molalla River traverse across both public and private lands to eventually reach the confluence with the Willamette River. Located just an hour away from the greater Portland and Salem metro areas, the designated segment of the Molalla River feels like a world apart.
In addition to providing clean drinking water for the cities of Molalla and Canby, this river hosts a diversity of critical habitat values and provides the setting for exceptional year-around recreation opportunities. Thousands of visitors come to the Molalla River corridor to enjoy hiking, whitewater boating, fishing, camping, or just simply to take in the sights and sounds of this free-flowing river.
BLM administrative studies in 1990 determined that the mainstem Molalla River and the
Table Rock Fork were eligible for wild and scenic river designation. The mainstem Molalla's outstandingly remarkable values (ORV) were identified as scenic and recreational, while the Table Rock Fork's ORVs were identified as scenic and cultural.
