Oregon whitewater - Siletz River, Coast Ranges, Lincoln County

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

 

CLASS III-IV     10.8 miles
  The wonderful Lincoln County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Siletz River will make you feel great. The average Oregon whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. This section of Siletz River in Lincoln County is 10.8 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-IV section. The beautiful Coast Ranges scenery is an added bonus. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book
    a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your camp stove too. Siletz River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Elk Creek to Moonshine Park stretch is the only one. Getting your
paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
