Molalla River State Park, State park along rivers in Canby, United States

Molalla River State Park lies a few miles north of Canby, half a mile from the Canby Ferry, in Clackamas County. The park occupies the flat floodplain south of the Willamette River and east of the Molalla River, where the Pudding River enters the Molalla just before the Molalla joins the Willamette. Its riverside floodplains provide habitat for waterfowl, wading birds, deer, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

Molalla River State Park lies in Clackamas County a few miles north of Canby, half a mile from the Canby Ferry, on the south bank of the Willamette at its meeting with the Molalla and Pudding rivers.

The park takes its name from the Molalla, the Indigenous people of the Molalla River drainage; the river and the park carry that name. The Molalla were not signatories to the Willamette Valley treaties of the 1850s, and their descendants are today part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. The park lies in the traditional territory of the Molalla and other Willamette Valley peoples.
