CLASS III     14.5 miles
  The Tumalo State Park to Cline Falls State Park section of Deschutes River is 14.5 miles long and has been rated as a class III section by American Whitewater. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. If you'll be staying in a hotel
    you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, 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 Tumalo State Park to Cline
Falls State Park section is just one of many. The wonderful Oregon scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a  
while are great attractions for lots of people.
