Thirty-four miles of the North Umpqua River challenge rafters and kayakers. Found on this river are placid Class I waters to tumbling and roaring Class IV rapids. May, June, and early July are said to be the best months to challenge the river. Our visit was in August and traffic on the river was light. However, here are a few hardy souls willing to weave their way down the North Umpqua River. From the laughter and smiles, it seemed these folks enjoyed their adventure. I think these rafters are setting up to take Rollout Rapids. All successfully made it through.
