The natural beauty of Polk County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. The Upper Bridge to Mill Creek County Park section of Mill Creek in Polk County is 5.6 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Oregon are harder than the national norm, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state
are not easy. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Whitewater paddling here in the Coast Ranges is a great experience. On this section you do get some distance, suitable for an afternoon trip. A good workout and just being out on the
river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good spots. There's camping available near Mill Creek. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
