Fish Hatchery to Eagle Creek Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-V+ 11 miles
The Fish Hatchery to Eagle Creek Road section of Eagle Creek in Oregon is 11 miles long and it is classified as a class II-V+ section by American Whitewater. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good spots for that around here. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. The
beauty of the Central Cascade Range is a great plus for this river. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The Fish Hatchery to
Eagle Creek Road stretch is the only paddling stretch along Eagle Creek. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, as you can see on the road map further down. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camping stuff too. The natural beauty of Clackamas County and the cool fresh water beats anything.
