Oregon whitewater - Coos River - South Fork, Coast Ranges, Coos County

Coos county, Johnson Beach to below Mile 7 Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     6.1 miles
  The nature scenery of Coos County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Oregon tend to be more challenging than the national average, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The put-in is not too far from Coos Bay, as you can see on the road map further down. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. Whitewater paddling here in the Coast Ranges is a great experience. This is the only paddling
    section along Coos River - South Fork. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The
Johnson Beach to below Mile 7 Bridge stretch of Coos River - South Fork is 6.1 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling places. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come.
