Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here. This stretch has has enough mileage, it's
    perfect for a one day trip. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Oregon are often tougher than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out
on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. The starting point is not too far from Corvallis, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. When you're paddling down a Coast Ranges river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. 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. This is not the only paddling stretch in this river system, there are others too.
