This take-out site on Eagle Creek in Baker County, Oregon provides access to a large river system with significant flow and gradient. Eagle Creek is a substantial waterway classified as a Stream Order 6 river, draining 519 square miles of the region. The creek drops 395 feet in elevation over its 71-mile length, creating an average gradient of 5.6 feet per mile. With an average flow of 624 cubic feet per second and velocity of 2.56 feet per second, this is a moving water environment suitable for paddlers experienced with river conditions.
The take-out location is positioned in the lower portion of Eagle Creek's watershed, approximately 1517 miles from the river mouth when measured through the connected waterway system. The moderate gradient and healthy flow rates make this section of Eagle Creek suitable for intermediate to advanced boaters looking for a whitewater take-out opportunity. Paddlers should be prepared for consistent current and typical river hazards associated with a large flowing waterway.
