Canton Creek Campground Take-Out is a whitewater take-out access point on Steamboat Creek in Douglas County, Oregon. This site serves as an exit point for paddlers completing runs on a medium-sized river with significant gradient and current. Steamboat Creek is a 25.47-mile stream with an average slope of 25.7 feet per mile, indicating technical whitewater terrain suitable for experienced paddlers. The creek drops 655 feet total elevation over its course and maintains an average flow of approximately 70 cubic feet per second with velocities around 1.80 feet per second.
The take-out location is situated at an elevation of approximately 1334 meters, placing it in the lower section of the creek system. As an established campground facility, this access point likely offers amenities beyond basic river access. The site is positioned about 109 miles upstream from the confluence with the larger river system. Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for the whitewater conditions typical of a medium river with notable gradient and current.
