When you're paddling down a Southern Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Oregon are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. This   section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's perfect for a one day trip.
