Background
Upon the completion of the Fern Ridge Dam, a diversion canal was constructed to connect the creek with Fern Ridge Reservoir, as a means of controlling floodwaters in the area.[1][2] Amazon Creek's headwaters are located in Eugene's Southeast hills near Spencer Butte. The stream then travels north to 18th Avenue, then turns west around High Street and continues into the diversion canal and into Fern Ridge Reservoir. The creek continues to the Long Tom River.[3]
