Oregon whitewater - Jenny Creek, Southern Cascade Range, Jackson / Siskiyou County
Jackson / Siskiyou
county,
Ashland Oregon to Iron Gate Reservoir California section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV-V+ 14 miles
You have got to be kidding. IV-V+???!!!!!! Has someone really run the falls? You make it sound like a like just any old run. It can only be run at the few times there is enough water and for a large part of the run, barb wire, willow thickets in the channel and recluses with shotguns are the main obstacles. Only the last few miles has whitewater of note and it is challenging. I ran this section in the mid eighties and claim along with my buddies Kent Erskine and Max Linn a first descent. Says rick landt
This stretch of Jenny Creek in Jackson / Siskiyou
County is 14 miles long and is a class IV-V+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The nature scenery of Jackson / Siskiyou County and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere,
so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. 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. There's camping available near Jenny Creek. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. The wild scenery of the Southern Cascade Range is great. Whether you're whitewater
rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. This is the only paddling section along Jenny Creek.
