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
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Oregon
tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other rivers for that.
The wonderful Oregon scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. There are no other sections to paddle along Jenny Creek than the Ashland Oregon to Iron Gate Reservoir California section. The Southern Cascade Range scenery is wonderful. This section of Jenny Creek in Jackson / Siskiyou County is 14 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V+ section. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for
a while have a lot of people coming here. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're
all set.
