Buell County Park to Yamhill River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 7 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The Buell County Park to Yamhill River section of Mill Creek is 7 miles long and is a class I-II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that. The starting point is not too far from Corvallis, there's a road
map further down the page with more info on that. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The beautiful scenery of Polk/Yamhill County and the water flowing gracefully down Mill Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. There are some good
sections to paddle in this river system, the Buell County Park to Yamhill River section is one of them. The beautiful Coast Ranges scenery is an added bonus. This stretch is mid length, good for a one day paddling trip. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more.
