You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of places for that. The beauty of the Coast Ranges is a great plus for this river. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter,
    so pack your camping stuff. The wonderful Oregon scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Marys River beats anything. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels
fill up quick. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here.
