The Wren to Philomath stretch of Marys River in Benton County is 10.5 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The wonderful Oregon scenery and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. Getting your paddling muscles activated 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, and if you make reservations in advance
you're all set. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Oregon you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. This is the only paddling section along Marys River.
