Crooked Wild and Scenic River - Lower Crooked (National Grassland boundary to River Mile 8 south of Opal Spring)
The Crooked River is noted for its ruggedly beautiful scenery, outstanding whitewater boating, and a renowned sport fishery for steelhead, brown trout, and native rainbow trout.
Located in central Oregon, it offers excellent hiking opportunities with spectacular geologic formations and waterfalls. A portion of the designated segment provides expert Class IV-V kayaking/rafting during spring runoff.
The section of river from the Ochoco National Forest to Opal Springs flows through scenic vertical basalt canyons.
