Oregon whitewater, Calapooia River Linn county, Concrete Bridge above Holley to McKercher Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II     10 miles   Be mindful that the old pilings from the dam that was removed still exist and I believe present a hazard that must be scouted.  If you run it before June there is likely no problem at all.  Enjoy. The dam site is two miles upriver from Brownsville out Kirk Avenue and Northern Drive.  I would hate to see your watercraft buggered up.  It is a lovely river. Says Paul The beautiful scenery of Oregon and the playfulness of the water attract     people from near and far. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Albany-Lebanon, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling rivers. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Concrete Bridge above Holley to McKercher Park section is just one of many. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great   attractions for lots of people. 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.
