Pudding River
The Pudding River is located in northwestern Oregon and spans about 62 miles in length. The river's name is derived from the "pudding-like" consistency of its sediment. Historically, the river was used by Native American tribes for fishing and transportation. Today, the river is primarily used for agricultural purposes, particularly for irrigation. Several dams and reservoirs have been built along the river, including the Detroit Dam and Reservoir and the Big Cliff Dam and Reservoir. These reservoirs help regulate the water levels in the river and provide hydroelectric power. Recreational opportunities along the Pudding River include fishing, boating, and hiking. The river also supports numerous wildlife species, including salmon and steelhead trout.
