Soggy Sneakers will take you paddling from the high desert to the ocean surf, from steep creeks to gentle streams and rivers, from runs within one hour of urban areas to remote rivers in the Oregon wilderness. Members of the Willamette Kayak and Canoe Club-who have run all of Oregon's rivers-share their expertise and detail rapids and landmarks found on each run. There's something for everyone, from Class 1 (flatwater) excursions to Class 6 (most challenging) adventures in Oregon rivers.

Editor Pete Giordano, a long-time guide, has been rafting and kayaking the rivers of Oregon for more than ten years.
