Thirtymile Access is a whitewater access point on the John Day River in Gilliam County, Oregon. This site serves as a put-in or take-out location for paddlers running the John Day, one of Oregon's premier whitewater rivers. The access provides a critical entry point for kayakers and canoeists looking to navigate this section of the river. Given its designation as a whitewater access site, paddlers should expect river current and conditions typical of the John Day, which is known for its scenic canyon sections and moderate to challenging whitewater depending on water levels and the specific section being paddled.
