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 sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Oregon are often more challenging than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. When you're paddling down a Central Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. 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. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you
    glad you came. The scenic beauty of unknown County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This is a bit of a short stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The campgrounds
here at Lookout Creek are pretty good. The 2.5 miles above Blue River to Blue River stretch of Lookout Creek in Oregon is 2.5 miles long and has been rated as a class III-IV section by American Whitewater. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. This is the only paddling stretch along Lookout Creek.
