Oregon whitewater - Crabtree Creek, Linn County Linn county, Roaring River to South Santiam River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-II     15.5 miles   We walked/paddled from Larwood bridge to almost the 226 bridge stretch on June 3, 2007. We put in at 11am and we were about two miles from the 226 bridge (at 8pm) when we ran up on a nasty tree branch on a corner and popped the bottom of our inflatable kayak. Luckily, there was a house right there and the owner was real nice and gave us a ride to our truck! The water was VERY low and we had to walk alot of the creek. The deep parts would have been great to fish. There was a large tree across right before Richardson's Gap bridge, but we were able to slide     the boat under on the left. It was a rather miserable trip, the rocks were very slippery when trying to drag the boat through the low spots! Says Teresa B The starting location is a short drive from Albany-Lebanon, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Oregon tend to be more challenging than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Roaring River to South Santiam River section is one of them. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good spots. The scenic beauty of Oregon and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll   have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came.
