Southwest Oregon Streams

Indigo Creek


The streams in the southwest portion of the state are some of the most special streams I have been able to paddle and spend time around.  Priscilla has been doing work with others who find the area worthy of protection.  

Some of these rivers are accessible to most everyone who has their own gear and ability to navigate the terrain and whitewater.

Others require planning, effort, and luck.
