Oregon whitewater - Lookout Creek, Central Cascade Range, unknown County

2.5 miles above Blue River to Blue River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     2.5 miles
  The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The 2.5 miles above Blue River to Blue River stretch of Lookout Creek in Oregon is 2.5 miles long and is a class III-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. Getting a good workout and just hanging
    out with mother nature are great reasons to come. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The natural beauty of unknown County and the water flowing gracefully down Lookout Creek will make you feel great. This stretch is short so better bring some good walking
shoes. 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. The beautiful Central Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. The 2.5 miles above Blue River to Blue River stretch is the only paddling stretch along Lookout Creek.
