  The Troy to Boggan's Oasis section of Grande Ronde River in Oregon is 19.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The scenic beauty of Oregon and the cool fresh water have people coming here. 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, there are not so many other good places for that around here. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill
up quick. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too. Whitewater paddling here in the Blue Mountains is a great experience.
