When it comes to whitewater rafting or kayaking in Oregon or anywhere else in the West, your best source for information is OregonRafting.org. For the river enthusiast, whether you are a beginner or expert, we are sure that you will find this site useful. Although our name suggests that we are solely focused on Oregon whitewater, you will find that this is not the case and we have mountains of information on runs outside of the state.

This site is a work in progress. The paddling community of commercial and private boaters is an extremely wonderful group to be a part of. We hope that you will join in our enthusiasm for rivers and help us make this site, not only a good source of information, but a great place to visit and swap stories, pictures, and ideas. Please share any comments you may have with our webmaster. Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you on the river.
