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
The wonderful Oregon scenery and the playfulness
of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other places for that. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river
if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. There's camping available near Jenny Creek. This section of Jenny Creek in Oregon is 14 miles long and has been rated as a class IV-V+ section by American Whitewater. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for
lots of people. Whitewater paddling here in the Southern Cascade Range is a great experience. There are no other sections to paddle along Jenny Creek than the Ashland Oregon to Iron Gate Reservoir California section. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make
it an overnighter, so pack your camping stuff.
