Lemolo Lake To Oregon Cacades Recreation Area Boundary Paddle Report

Summary

The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 600 and 3000 cubic feet per second (cfs), and the river is rated as a Class III to IV. The segment is approximately 10 miles long and features a series of rapids and obstacles, including the "Picket Fence" and "Green Wall."

The Picket Fence is a Class IV rapid located about halfway through the run. It is a tight and technical drop that requires precise maneuvering. The Green Wall is another Class IV rapid near the end of the run. It is a steep and powerful drop that can be challenging, especially at higher flow levels.

In addition to the rapids, there are also several regulations in place for this area. The use of motorized boats is prohibited, and all watercraft must be inspected for invasive species before entering the water. Additionally, all boaters must wear a personal flotation device (PFD) at all times while on the river.
