    to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you won't find many other paddling spots. This section
has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so pack your camping stuff. Jarvis Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Trail above McCumber Creek to Trail below Ober Creek (Jarvis Creek Canyon) section is the only one.
