About This Access Site
Steamboat Creek Put In is a whitewater access point on a medium-sized river system in Lane County, Oregon. The creek drains a 1294 square mile watershed and maintains an average flow of approximately 70 cubic feet per second with moderate gradient of 25.7 feet per mile. The water velocity averages 1.80 feet per second, indicating moving water conditions suitable for whitewater paddling activities. This put-in location provides access to a 25.47-mile stretch of river with significant elevation change of 655 feet, making it a substantial run for experienced paddlers. The creek originates at higher elevation (1534 meters) and flows toward lower elevations, creating the dynamic water conditions characteristic of whitewater paddling in the Pacific Northwest.
