Starting at Packsaddle Park and ending at North Santiam State park this 13.5 mile stretch of class II/III whitewater is perfect for the short and wet get away. Featured rapids are The Gates, Spencers Hole, Carnivore, Big Eddie and Mill city falls. You add a cliff jump and BBQ lunch, it's perfect.
Mossy trees and giant ferns engulf the river as you make your way down the incredible Wild and Scenic North Santiam. You won't believe you’re only 70 miles from Portland! During the course of the season fluctuating water levels make the North Santiam River very different from early spring to summer. In the spring, with high river flows, the North Santiam River is great for adventurous rafters with experience. As the river level drops throughout the summer, it becomes family friendly with kids as young as six joining in. Whenever you go, the North Santiam River is perfect for camping, hiking and beautiful scenery with an isolated feel.
