Oregon whitewater, Crabtree Creek Linn county, Roaring River to South Santiam River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-II     15.5 miles   We walked/paddled from Larwood bridge to almost the 226 bridge stretch on June 3, 2007. We put in at 11am and we were about two miles from the 226 bridge (at 8pm) when we ran up on a nasty tree branch on a corner and popped the bottom of our inflatable kayak. Luckily, there was a house right there and the owner was real nice and gave us a ride to our truck! The water was VERY low and we had to walk alot of the creek. The deep parts would have     been great to fish. There was a large tree across right before Richardson's Gap bridge, but we were able to slide the boat under on the left. It was a rather miserable trip, the rocks were very slippery when trying to drag the boat through the low spots! Says Teresa B This section of Crabtree Creek in Oregon is 15.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The nature scenery of Linn County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the   trip here worthwhile. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good places. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The put-in location is a short drive from Albany-Lebanon, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page.
