moves down the stream attract people from near and far. There are no other sections to paddle along Tenmile Creek than the Gauge on Highway 101 to South Fork Eel section. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make
reservations in advance you're all set. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. On this section you do get some distance, suitable for an afternoon trip. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. The beauty of the Coast Ranges is a great plus for this river.
