Calapooia River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Calapooia River is a tributary of the Willamette in the state of Oregon, in the United States.
The Calapooia runs through Crawfordsville and Brownsville, meandering through fields and cutting deeply into the grass field environment of the Willamette Valley. The stretch of this stream between Corvallis and Albany contains several old cars strategically dumped on the bank to prevent or slow erosion. A surprising amount of wildlife can be spotted on this stretch, including wood ducks, blue herons, and the ever present crows. The small stream, muddy with the soil of the fertile fields through which it cuts, winds in classic figure eight style from Corvallis to Albany before converging with the Willamette near Albany. It was named for the Kalapuya Indians.
