The Steamboat Falls to Canton Creek Campground section of Steamboat Creek in Oregon is 6 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV section. The campgrounds here at Steamboat Creek are pretty good. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Oregon is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or
kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The beautiful Central Cascade Range
scenery is an added bonus. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. The scenic beauty of Oregon and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far.
