Take Out

Mill Creek is a medium-sized river in Yamhill County, Oregon, with a total length of 14.02 miles and a significant elevation drop of 195 feet. This take-out location represents the lower portion of the creek, though it still maintains a notable gradient of 13.9 feet per mile, indicating moderately fast water conditions typical of whitewater paddling. The creek drains an area of 118 square miles and maintains an average flow of about 91 cubic feet per second, with water moving at approximately 1.28 feet per second on average. This take-out access point serves paddlers who have descended the upper sections of Mill Creek, providing a critical egress point for kayakers and canoeists running the whitewater sections of this Yamhill County waterway. Given the stream's character as a medium river with steady gradient and moderate flow, this is an established take-out for intermediate paddlers completing whitewater runs. The site's location in the lower portion of the creek means users are exiting from fast-moving water with accumulated flow from upstream tributaries.
