River Description

The full section is a portage fest described here at Jason Rackley's excellent Oregon Kayaking site.

A short section of bedrock slides and ledges can be cherry picked, but even that section described here is still a novelty trip at best.

Marion Creek below the confluence with Puzzle Creek looks like it could be worthwhile class III-IV that flows from snowmelt if it was wood free, but historically it has not been.  Dangerous wood has been placed by the Forest Service, rendering this section a liability to anyone attempting to paddle it.
