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 nature scenery of Linn County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Roaring River to South Santiam River stretch of Crabtree Creek in Oregon is 15.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section.
