Hells Canyon Dam to Washington Border section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-IV 71.5 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The Hells Canyon Dam to Washington Border stretch of Snake River in Wallowa County is 71.5 miles long and has been rated as a class II-IV section by American Whitewater. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The natural beauty of Wallowa County and the water flowing
gracefully down Snake River make the trip here worthwhile. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, so make sure you pack enough food along with your
camping gear. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
