This stretch of the North Fork John Day is a great over night trip! The river feels like one giant class II rapid keeping you moving down stream with ease. Great for beginning rafters, kayakers, and canoeists. You won't be let down by the giant ponderosa pines and stunning desert landscape.
Mile 1: Put-in at a small campground just west of the small town of Dale Oregon.
