The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Lebanon, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. And of course, there are
campgrounds nearby. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. This is a very short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to
come. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
