The average Oregon whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so better not forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. Whitewater paddling here in the Central Cascade Range is a great experience. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the 3 miles above West Fork to Confluence with West Fork section is just one of many. If you're coming from Hood River it's not
a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and
over. 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. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of places for that. The campgrounds here at Hood River - Lake Branch are pretty good.
