Shelton Ditch (Oregon)

Shelton Ditch is an artificial canal in Marion County, Oregon, United States.

After the Mill Race joins Pringle Creek near Salem's city hall, Pringle Creek passes under Commercial Street and empties into the Willamette River next to Riverfront Park across from Minto-Brown Island Park.

[1] Shelton Ditch passes along the edge of Salem Hospital's property.

This has been a problem in the past as Shelton Ditch is prone to flooding, necessitating evacuation of the hospital's patients, including during the Christmas flood of 1964.
