MILL CITY TO MEHAMA

River Runs Kayaking Whitewater


The Mill City to Mehama river run on the North Santiam River in Oregon is a Class II to III rapids run with some challenging obstacles. The river features several Class III rapids, including The Rock Garden and The Ledge. The best time to float this section is during the summer months when the water levels are lower, typically between 800-1000 cfs. Higher water levels in the spring can make the run more difficult and dangerous. This section of the river is suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers, and caution should be taken when navigating around the obstacles.
