Pretty sure the requirement is 3 or more in your group to run the falls, but obviously you don’t all have to run it.  I think it is a minimum for a safety on land and in the water.

Yes, you do need a permit as it is a very commercial/crowded.  Permits are allocated by launch time to limit river crowding.  There is a website to buy permits in advance.  Have fun, it is a great river!

Thanks for the replies.  Will definitely be in for future trips.  Is this the best site to coordinate?  Any other sites?  Also, is there a Jackson dealer anywhere with WW boats (new or used) Sold all 3 of my boats before moving and looking to replace my Karma.

Also, how often is the playspot in Lawrence in?  Haven’t done any playboating, but maybe that is the best option around here?

 

Also to Julie, join the OKCC facebook page.  Tons of welcoming boaters out there.  I may still have the soggy sneakers river guide book for OR that I’d be happy to lend you if I can find it.  The Clackamas, White Salmon, N. Santiam and others have are still runnable in August and some fun runs available.  My email is j a m e s p m o s e r at y a h o o dot com if you have any questions.

It makes it a lot easier for anyone rescuing your boat if the bow is not filled with/under water.  I have the 8.1 and have playboat style stern bags in the bow.  The Mamba 8.5 has a lot of volume, and bags in the bow will save you a lot of hassle both rescuing and draining your boat.  I know some people that have used cheap beach balls in the bow.
