Collawash River to Three Lynx Power Station section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The average Oregon whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. The beautiful Central Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations
in advance you're all set. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. The wonderful Oregon scenery and the water flowing gracefully
down Clackamas River are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Collawash River to Three Lynx Power Station section is one of many paddling sections in this river system.
Briefly about the general area: There is a tremendous hiking trail near Clackamas River called the Bagby Trail, and close by you come across the Cold Spring Trail which is a nice hiking trail.
