River Description

This is a great intermediate run with a fun sequence of slightly more challenging rapids known as the Three Bears. To hit the highlights of the best whitewater put-in at the Table Rock Fork and continue on down through the Three Bears--Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear--and take-out below Baby Bear. Of these drops, Mama Bear is the most challenging and leads you into a beautiful basalt canyon.

See Upper Molalla (Three Bears) on Oregonkayaking for additional description and pictures of this run.
