Steelhead Falls

Report

Account You can still weave down the rocky rapids at this flow but it's a little tight. Beautiful canyon section as you approach Billy Chinook Reservoir. Fun rapid towards the end of the run. The last trickle of whitewater as you hit the slackwater of Billy Chinook Reservoir. The take-out is at the bridge that spans the Deschutes River arm of Billy Chinook Reservoir. Is just over a 2 mile flatwater paddle and takes about 40 minutes assuming the up canyon head wind is not too bad. At this flow most of the current funnels into the crease in the center.
