CLASS IV-V 6 miles
This stretch of Wiley Creek is 6 miles long and it is classified as a class IV-V section by American Whitewater. The nature scenery of Oregon and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. This is the only paddling stretch along Wiley Creek. When you're paddling down a Central Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. Some
people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots. This is a pretty decent length section, you can easily run it on an afternoon. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Albany-Lebanon, as you can see on the road
map further down. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. 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.
