Description

This section starts on the North Fork and continues on to the mainstem John Day. There is limited public land and few campsites on this reach, much of which is roadside through agricultural land, but there are a few small campgrounds along the way. There are alternate access points for shorter runs or this whole section can be used to weave together a long multiday adventure starting on the North Fork and continuing down the John Day.
