Canyon Run (Lower Bridge To Billy Chinook Res.)
Canyon Run is a fun Kayak run when the water is flowing. Unfortunatley that doesn't happen fequently since most of the Deschutes above Billy Chinook Reservoir is used for irrigation. This can be run year round but look for really raining periods or pre-farming season to get the most water in here.
Suggested river levels for paddling this section of the Deschutes River are between a bare minimum of 700cfs and a high of 2,000cfs.
