Around and including the tiny town of Maupin. This is the most extensive whitewater rafting area on the Deschutes. One class VI (i.e., unrunnable) rapid, Sherar Falls, has to be portaged around, but otherwise only one rapid (Oak Spring) rates as much as a IV.
The rafting pictures are our boat in Wapinitia, Boxcar, and Oak Spring rapids.

Sherar Falls

Sherar Falls

On the Deschutes River, Oregon, USA. The falls belong to the Warm Springs Confederated Tribes, who can fish for salmon from the platforms. I'm told they'll sell fishing licenses to non-tribal members, but I don't know any details. You portage this one if you're running the river. Or at least ordinary mortals do--evidently some crazy kayakers have run it.
