13 miles above Holley to Concrete Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III 9.5 miles
The 13 miles above Holley to Concrete Bridge section of Calapooia River is 9.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III section. The scenic beauty of Linn County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Oregon is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
This stretch is mid length, good for a one day paddling trip. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling rivers. This is not the only paddling section in this river system,
there are others too. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Albany-Lebanon, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The river winds through the Central Cascade Range and you get great scenery. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
