This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Mill Creek Park to Tidewater stretch is just one of them. Now this is a pretty long section, so better bring your camping gear along. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. If you've
    been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Oregon you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. When you're paddling down a Coast Ranges river
like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places. The scenic beauty of Benton/Lincoln County and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far.
