Oregon whitewater - Fall Creek, Central Cascade Range, Lane County Lane county, Portland Creek to Fall Creek Reservoir section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS III-IV     8 miles   Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Oregon tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The Portland Creek to Fall Creek Reservoir section of Fall Creek is 8 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here     you'll find a large number of good spots. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. The beautiful scenery of Lane County and the water flowing gracefully down Fall Creek beats anything. The wild scenery of the Central Cascade Range is great. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's perfect for a one day trip.
