Willamette, Middle Fork

We put onto Salt Creek when the MFW was running at about 390, and the Nf/MF was at 2.2 on the internetz gauge. We accessed Salt creek from the double bridges easily found on Google maps, or just by following your nose in the area. The ‘park and play’ under the two bridges was phenomenal for some novice kayakers. We then scratched our way down Salt Creek about 200 yards to the MFW for a really fun section. Again, we had some movie paddlers and the rapids were a tiny bit challenging at these low flows. Long class 2 rapids, with rock dodging, and one bigger 2+/-3 type of basalt ledge thing, best run on the left. In total we did about 5 miles on the MFW to a boat rap of sorts just downstream from Town (Oakridge?). We had a few nice beers at the Three Legged Crane, afterwords. I’d recommend the bacon wrapped dates, they were tasty AF!
