Confluence with Pass Creek to Steamboat Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III-IV 9 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Oregon are harder than the national norm, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The natural beauty of Oregon and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. Canyon Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Confluence with Pass Creek to Steamboat Creek section is the only one. The Confluence with Pass Creek to
Steamboat Creek stretch of Canyon Creek in Douglas County is 9 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-IV section. 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. The beauty of the
Central Cascade Range is a great plus for this river. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip.
