Class IV-V River Run

The Quines Creek section of the Whitewater River in Oregon is a popular destination for kayakers and rafters. The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 500-1200 cfs, which usually occurs in the early spring or after significant rainfall in the fall.

Rated as a Class IV-V run, this section of the river covers 3.5 miles and is known for its challenging rapids and obstacles. The run begins with a Class IV rapid called "Hell Hole" that requires precise navigation through a narrow chute. The "Corkscrew" and "Pinball" rapids provide additional challenges further downstream.

There are specific regulations in place for this section of the river, including a required permit from the Bureau of Land Management. Additionally, boaters must adhere to Leave No Trace principles and avoid disturbing the wildlife and natural environment.
