Oregon whitewater - Imnaha River, Wallowa County

Wallowa county, to Snake Lake section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  The starting location is a short drive from Lewiston, as you can see on the road map further down. The to Snake Lake section of Imnaha River is -blank- miles long and is a class III-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The to Snake Lake stretch is the only paddling stretch along Imnaha River. The campgrounds here at Imnaha River are pretty good. Getting your
    paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that lots of rivers here
are not for beginners. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are not so many other good places for that around here. The nature scenery of Wallowa County and the cool fresh water will make you feel great.
