What do you call the section of the Willamette from the falls to Albany?

The lower Willamette is below the falls. I think that is agreed upon.

On my youtube channel I called the section above the falls around West Linn the upper Willamette. Someone commented that the upper Willamette means the river above Albany.

If that's true then what do you call the section of the Willamette from the falls to Albany?

Curious to hear everyone's opinion.

It's all "upper Willamette " to me.

Yeah...I'd say that "upper" means from Albany to Eugene. But that has me kinda stumped about what to call her, from Albany down to the Falls. In other words...I'm kind of "stymied"!

That would be the "Middle Willamette River"in my view.
But I also include from the falls to the Mckenzie in that.
