Alton Baker Park to Peoria Boat Landing section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I 36 miles
The wonderful Lane County scenery and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Oregon is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. This stretch of Willamette River is 36 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I section of whitewater. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you
don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system,
the Alton Baker Park to Peoria Boat Landing stretch is one of them. A section like this is is of course not run in a single day, so better bring your camping gear along. The starting location is a short drive from Eugene-Springfield, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.
