Description

The Riverside Forest Campground Put In marks the start of a scenic Metolius River run with minimal whitewater challenges, primarily serving as an access point to float downstream toward Billy Chinook Reservoir. Paddlers should expect a mostly gentle float with potential for flat water and mild current, using this launch as a strategic entry point for downstream travel. No significant rapids or technical features are present at this specific location, making it more of a put-in logistics point than a distinct whitewater feature.
