The Packsaddle County Park to Mill City River Run on the North Santiam River in Oregon is a challenging Class III-IV whitewater run with several notable rapids, including Vortex, Hole-in-the-Wall, and Mill City Falls. The best time to float this section is during the spring runoff, typically between March and May, when water levels are high enough to provide exciting rapids without being too dangerous. Recommended flow levels range from 1,500 to 4,000 cfs. Kayakers and experienced rafters will enjoy this section of the river, but novice boaters should approach with caution.
