Champoeg state park.

Because in Old Dutch, the letter g is pronounced like a y when it's at the end of a word.

Old English you mean? I'm Dutch and I've never heard of a word where g is pronounced like y in Dutch

Nope, Old Dutch. Same for names like Solveig.

That's a Scandinavian name, not a Dutch word
