The Whitewater River run in Oregon is a challenging and thrilling experience for advanced kayakers and rafters. The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 800-2000 cfs, and it is rated as a class IV-V river, meaning it is very difficult and requires advanced skills.

The run begins at the Headwaters, which includes both unnamed forks and RR lakes, and extends to the confluence with Rough and Ready Creek. This segment covers approximately 11 miles and features challenging rapids and obstacles such as Tight Squeeze, Pinball, and S-Turn.

This area is regulated by the Bureau of Land Management, and all boaters are required to obtain a permit before accessing the river. Additionally, all boaters must follow Leave No Trace principles and take care to avoid damaging the fragile ecosystem surrounding the river.

Overall, the Whitewater River run is a challenging and exciting adventure for experienced boaters, but it is important to approach it with caution and respect for the environment.
