Summary
The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 500 and 1,500 cfs. At lower levels, the river can be too rocky and technical, while at higher levels it can become dangerous and difficult to navigate.
The segment from the Headwaters of Sevenmile Creek to the confluence with Latiwi Creek is approximately 8.5 miles long and is rated as a class III-IV run. There are several notable rapids and obstacles along the way, including the S-Turn, which is a challenging rapid with a steep drop and powerful waves.
It is important to note that there are specific regulations in place for this area. The Oregon State Marine Board requires all boaters to have a valid boating permit and to wear a personal flotation device at all times while on the river. Additionally, camping and fires are prohibited along the riverbanks to protect the sensitive riparian habitat.
