The close by class I-V, 18-mile-long Big River Campground to Benham Falls segment of whitewater on Deschutes River is lots of fun. This bit of Deschutes River is suitable for raft paddlers who have     been whitewater paddling for some time but who are not yet ready for the especially dangerous rapids. There's a wonderful class I-II segment of whitewater nearby on Deschutes River, the 16-mile-in-distance Pringle Falls to Big River Campground section. If by chance you want to get dripping wet, this segment of Deschutes River is possibly not for you.
