Oregon whitewater - Alsea River, Coast Ranges, Benton/Lincoln County

Benton/Lincoln county, Mill Creek Park to Tidewater section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     32 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The starting location is a short drive from Corvallis, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The Mill Creek Park to Tidewater section of Alsea River is 32 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. Now this is a pretty long section, so it looks like you will be camping out. Great exercise and a chance to spend some
    time outdoors are great reasons to come. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. The Mill Creek Park to Tidewater section is one of many paddling sections in this river system. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive
a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The campgrounds here at Alsea River are pretty good. The scenic beauty of Benton/Lincoln County and the water flowing gracefully down Alsea River have people coming here. The Coast Ranges scenery is wonderful.

Briefly about the general area:
If you would like a little side spree, try Carns Canyon It's always tremendous to take a look at Fall Creek Falls. For the duration of the warm days of summer at Alsea River highs are typically in the 70's. Once the
 
sun is down it sinks down to the 50's. Daytime highs all through the wintertime are in the 40's, and nighttime lows at Alsea River during the wintertime regularly drop into the 30's.
All the water falling down from the sky makes Alsea River a wet place; the wettest month of the year is ordinarily December, that's the one that rains the most while July is generally the driest month. You just ought to like the Coast Ranges.
