Oregon has over 200 rivers within its borders (not counting every single gully, stream, creek and trickle) and each one has a story to tell. Wading through history, geology, wildlife and wild stories, I found some fun factoids that you may not know about five of Oregon's most interesting rivers, including the John Day, The D, the Willamette, the Rogue and the McKenzie.
