Pudding River
|
The Pudding River is a tributary of the Molalla River in the U.S. state of Oregon.
Its headwaters are near Sweet Spring Mountain in the Cascade Range. After emerging from the Cascades, it becomes a slow meandering stream, passing through a region of fertile agricultural lands in the lower Willamette Valley, past the towns of Scotts Mills and Aurora. For most of its course, it defines part of the boundary between Marion and Clackamas Counties.
It is approximately 62 miles (100 km) long and drains an area of approximately 531 square miles (1,375 km²). Its tributaries include the Little Pudding River.
