Oregon whitewater - Jackson Creek, Southern Cascade Range, Douglas County

Douglas county, Cover Camp to FS 31 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     8 miles
  If you're coming from Medford it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The Cover Camp to FS 31 section of Jackson Creek in Oregon is 8 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III-IV section of whitewater. The river winds through the Southern Cascade Range and you get great scenery. The campgrounds here at Jackson Creek are pretty good. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The Cover Camp to FS 31 section is
    one of a few paddling sections in this river system. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of spots for that. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. The nearby hotels are a bit away from
the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The beautiful scenery of Douglas County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here.

Briefly about the general area:
Jackson Creek is a pretty wet place frequently with a large amount of precipitation; during November this area sees the most rain, and the driest month
 
of the year is July. So much fun stuff to do here in the Southern Cascade Range, too splendid to be true.
While you're here at Jackson Creek you can take a hike along the Freezeout Trail, and on a splendid day you can take a hike along the Billick Burn Trail.
