CLASS II-III 6.5 miles
This section of Siuslaw River is 6.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III section. This is the only paddling stretch along Siuslaw River. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling spots. The campgrounds here at Siuslaw River are pretty good. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, good for a one day paddling trip. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. The beauty of the Coast Ranges is a great plus
for this river. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so better not forget that rivers
here are not as easy as elsewhere. The wonderful Lane County scenery and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.
