Another photo from the Great Flood of 1964. On Christmas Day two women walk along the railroad tracks.  This photo was taken at Rocky Point, where Sallee Road meets Row River Rd. The railroad tracks are now the Bike Trail.

A Day at the Lake 50 Years Ago

Picnickers enjoy a day at Dorena Lake in 1964.  The lake was just 15 years old then. It was built to control flooding in the Willamette Valley, but ended up being a great place to get out and enjoy the sun and water. Ah, summer!
