CLASS II-III 4.8 miles
This stretch of Willamette River is 4.8 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The wonderful Lane County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Willamette River are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Oregon you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The starting point is not too far from Eugene-Springfield, if you're not familiar with
the area there's a road map further down the page. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. On this section you do get
some distance, you can easily run it on an afternoon. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. No need to look hard for hotels, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
Briefly about the general area: You are in close proximity to Osprey Bay if you're here at Willamette River, and some exciting geology is available here, Judkins Point is right here. All the water falling down
from the sky makes Willamette River a wet place; all through the month of December you get the most rain around here, and July on the other hand is the driest. High temperatures at Willamette River through the warm days of summer are in the 80's with overnight lows in the 50's.
Through the winter highs are in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 30's to Willamette River. Coryell Pass is a great site to look at, and people from Eugene-Springfield love to come here. If you come to this river you will have a good time for sure.
