About
Kayak on the crystal-clear Spring Creek, upstream from the Williamson River. These waters are famous for their quality trout fishery and consistently produce trophy fish. Spring Creek gushes dramatically out of a nearby spring and produces awesome colors in its pristine waters as it flows through the park. You will see the water coming up through the sands just below the surface among the unique Mare's Eggs which grow in only a few spots in the world.
We put you in at the day-use area behind the Collier Logging Museum, where we go upstream, then down, while we show you around. We're able to take lots of pictures while on our tour! Our licensed Oregon Guides are very experienced with years on the water and dedicated to providing you a very enjoyable experience you will remember a lifetime.
