After a conversation with Jacob Cruser about posting his life paddling list on his blog, I thought it would be fun to do the same here. I’ve included links to either trip reports on Oregonkayaking.net or guide pages on Oregonpaddling.northwest-rivers.com for additional info. My next post I’ll organize the list into some of my favorite runs and maybe some groupings by difficulty.
