North Falls to Lower putin section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V+ 2 miles
The average Oregon whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. If you're coming from Salem it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The wonderful Oregon scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The North Falls to Lower putin stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. Getting some
good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great attractions for lots of people. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The North Falls to Lower
putin section of Silver Creek in Oregon is 2 miles long and is a class V+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places.
