The Oregon Experience is defined by the life of the river. The level of quiet relaxation achieved drifting downstream without motor or sail is inexpressible and must be experienced first hand. Guided by an expert oarsman, your raft or drift boat floats through the lush western Oregon countryside. A few minutes later you're safely negotiating class III rapids on your way to the next deep pool, alive with trout and steelhead. The fast moving waters of the North Santiam River carry you silently and without intrusion through waterfowl and wildlife sanctuaries seemingly untouched by the modern world. Even if you don't catch a scrappy, tail wagging steelhead, your Oregon Experience will provide memories that last a lifetime.

Based in Mill City Oregon, The Oregon Experience offers a selection of guided adventures and unique services. Licensed Guide Arden Corey will share his extensive knowledge of forestry, wildlife and fisheries acquired during his 30 years with the U.S. Forest Service and 27 years spent on the Santiam River. Corey is an outdoorsman whose dedication to environmental issues and appreciation for wildlife will make every trip pleasurable and meaningful as he leads you on an unforgettable "Oregon Experience."
