Description
This little-run section of river is one of the beauties of the Deschutes drainge. Launching from Victor bridge it takes less than a mile to be in a lovely steep-walled canyon. The whitewater is fast but easy in the top part which is good because I'm always gaping at the scenery. There is one rapid (we call it landslide) that feels class IVish and below there several good class III's before the end. There is always a fair bit of wood in this section and after the fires of 2020 the wood situation will probably get worse.
There are some lovely campsites alongside this section, and an overnighter can be delightful.
The shuttle can be run on either side of the river. The river left shuttle is more paved and direct.
