When you're paddling down a Klamath Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your
    sleeping bag too. The North Fork confluence to Salmon River section is the only paddling section along Wooley Creek. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great attractions for lots of people. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to
drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in California are often tougher than in other states, so don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners.
