Oregon whitewater - Jordan Creek, Coast Ranges, Tillamook County

Tillamook county, Headwaters to Wilson River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III+(IV)     6.5 miles
  This stretch of Jordan Creek in Oregon is 6.5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III+(IV) section of whitewater. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The beautiful scenery of Tillamook County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are
    sure to keep you coming back for more. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This section is long enough to enjoy
a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. The beauty of the Coast Ranges is a great plus for this river. The Headwaters to Wilson River section is the only paddling section along Jordan Creek. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots.

Briefly about the general area:
Throughout the warm months at Jordan Creek temperatures are regularly in the 60's. Once the sun is down it dips down to the 50's. Highs during the winter are frequently in the
 
50's, and nighttime lows at Jordan Creek during the wintertime commonly dip into the 30's.
All the water falling down from the sky makes Jordan Creek a wet spot; December is when you get the most rain here; August meanwhile is the driest month.
