Wallowa River to Grande Ronde River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III 46 miles
The average Oregon whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. 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. Now this is a pretty long section, so it looks like you will be camping out. The scenic beauty of Oregon and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to
come here and paddle. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The Wallowa River to Grande Ronde River stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots.
This stretch of Grande Ronde River in Wallowa County is 46 miles long and it is classified as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came.
