Walk Along the Water

Finding a map which names the bodies of water around Stayton ain't easy. I've found two different topography maps which seem to have conflicting information. Or I just don't understand how to read them. Or both.

Anyway, the water in the photo above is either something called 'main canal' (of what, I don't know, but it's near 'lateral canal'... at least, according to one of the maps), or it's an offshoot of the Santiam River. I think. It could be a very large and persistent puddle for all know.

It runs along Wilderness Park, which sits behind Pioneer Park in Stayton.
