Oregon whitewater - Canyon Creek, Central Cascade Range, unknown County

7 Mile Bridge to South Santiam River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     7 miles
  The beautiful scenery of unknown County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good places. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. When you're paddling down a Central Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. On this
    section you do get some distance, suitable for an afternoon trip. 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 7 Mile Bridge to South Santiam River stretch of Canyon Creek is 7 miles long and has
been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V section. This is the only paddling section along Canyon Creek. The campgrounds here at Canyon Creek are pretty good. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here.
