    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. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the FR 2260 Bridge to West Satsop Road section is just one of many. If you're
coming from Aberdeen it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down.
