McKenzie River, Paradise to Blue River, Class 2+, Soggy Sneakers #90

I did this run on the 20th of July. It was stupendous. Really fun! Took about 2.5 hours actual paddle time. Lounged around for lunch for an hour. You have to be strong enough to keep straight on a wave train or ride an eddy fence while keeping your butt to the bank going around a corner with a stiff current. Nothing highly technical, but some low spots and a few places where you can get stuck (and, if in an IK like me, maybe have to walk off the gravel bar) if you take the wrong way. There is a shuttle service that will drive your car from the put-in to the take-out which allows you to avoid running shuttle with other people who aren't in your immediate circle of family or friends. Register for this paddle on the WKCC website to receive an email message with details about the launch, shuttle, and take-out. Lane County Parking Pass required for take-out site. Get permit ahead of time. $5
