Wood River Headwaters at Kimbal F. Jackson State Park
Kayaking the Wood, Everyone's Favorite!
The pristine waters of the Wood River start flowing from springs which are fed by underground waters originating below Crater Lake National Park which is located only a short distance to the north.
Our guides will put you in at the headwaters where you will embark on a beautiful 3 hour float float down the Wood River to the Kimbal Park day use area. This river is known for its crystal clear waters and huge Brown Trout.
This class 1 river provides just enough water current and bends to keep your paddle moving as you enjoy your outdoor adventure.
We take lots of pictures while on our tour so be sure to check out our Facebook Page to see your tour and feel free to share.
- Our regular scheduled days for this tour are Wednesday of every week starting at 10:00 AM

Camping & Horse Stalls
J. F. Kimball State Park is a pristine site located at the headwaters of the Wood River boardering the Fremont/Winema National Forest. This stream flows from the pine forest into open meadow land laced with picturesque quaking aspen surrounded by the southern Cascade Mountains. Wood River offers fine fishing that can be accessed from the park by canoe. Kimball Park offers primitive camping next to a spring-fed lagoon at the beginning of this waterway.A walking trail connects the campground to the site where the clear spring bubbles from a rocky hillside. The park is a secluded place where you can contemplate the moment while relaxing in the whispering lodgepole pines. Horse stalls are available for use.
