Lincoln county, Elk Creek to Moonshine Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     10.8 miles
  The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Oregon are often tougher than in other states, so keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The Elk Creek to Moonshine Park section of Siletz River in Lincoln County is 10.8 miles long and is a class III-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good places for that around here. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come.
    If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your camping stuff too. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill
up quick. The Elk Creek to Moonshine Park stretch is the only paddling stretch along Siletz River. The beautiful scenery of Oregon and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. The beautiful Coast Ranges scenery is an added bonus.
