Rivers and Waterways in Oregon
Oregon’s river systems are shaped by mountains, valleys, and coastal ranges, with most waterways draining into the Pacific Ocean. Western rivers flow quickly from the Cascade Range to the coast, while eastern Oregon includes rivers that drain into the Columbia River system or internal basins. Snowmelt from the mountains plays a major role in river flow. The state also has many reservoirs and natural lakes that support irrigation, hydropower, fisheries, and recreation across its diverse landscapes.
