best river rafting for first timers

For first timers, where would be the best river rafting in Oregon. I%26#39;ve been reading different reviews and it seems to be Rogue, Hood and Salmon River are the good spots?? Planning on staying for 2-3 days. Any suggestions? And any good recommendation where we could stay? PLanning on going this July

You have this tagged as Cannon Beach, but these areas are far from there. You would be best off making a new post tagged just Oregon to get the best replies:)

That said, we like the Deschutes down in Bend. Sunriver Resort is a great base for that.

First timers in Oregon or first timers river rafting?

If you%26#39;re looking for something comparatively tame, but fun, check out the McKenzie River east of Eugene/Springfield. If you%26#39;re a more experienced rafter, the Deschutes or Rogue might be more to your liking (others will offer other options).

If you pick the McKenzie, there are a number of lodges along the river or you could base yourself right in Eugene/Springfield (or even in Sisters or on the east side of the pass toward Bend).

If you%26#39;re looking for something near Cannon Beach/Portland, check out the Clackamas River. It would be a good first timer river...

thanks for all the info. I will check the websites and decide from there.
