Oregon River Trip Planning Just Got Easier with National Project and BLM
Oregon river information is now more accessible than ever on the National Rivers Project's (NRP) recreational river map.
In collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management, the River Management Society recently added over 1,000 miles of Oregon rivers to the NRP site.
This includes nearly 700 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers, iconic whitewater reaches and beginner-friendly sections.
The NRP website offers intuitive search features for both beginners and experienced paddlers. Users can sort sections by difficulty and recreational amenities such as fishing, camping and boat ramps. Each listing provides river access and permit details, with links to more information.
Some of the recently added sections are very accessible with developed launches, while others are more wild and remote. BLM rangers remind boaters to check local weather conditions, water levels and permit requirements before department on a river trip.
NRP Coordinator James Major said all their river and access information is sourced and reviewed by managing agencies, so boaters can feel confident when they begin their trip-planning on their website at "nationalriversproject.com."
