Mc Kenzie River Adventures Lane county, Oregon whitewater outfitter     River Guides Deschutes River Lake Creek Mckenzie River Rafts Whitewater Rafting Trips The average Oregon whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so better not forget that rivers here are less forgiving.

You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came.
