Siskiyou county, North Fork confluence to Salmon River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V     13 miles
  The North Fork confluence to Salmon River stretch of Wooley Creek in Siskiyou County is 13 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V section. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The natural beauty
    of California and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. The river winds through the Klamath Mountains and you get great scenery. For all you camping
people there are campgrounds nearby. There are no other stretches to paddle along Wooley Creek than the North Fork confluence to Salmon River stretch. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more.
