Members of the Willamette Kayak and Canoe Club-who have run all of Oregon's rivers-share their expertise and detail rapids and landmarks found on each run. There's something for everyone, from Class 1 (flatwater) excursions to Class 6 (most challenging) adventures in Oregon rivers.

Editor Pete Giordano, a long-time guide, has been rafting and kayaking the rivers of Oregon for more than ten years.

The book is a great way to learn the rivers in our area. The details of the river are simple to understand and make me want to paddle.
