Is there a take out? If so how long is it? A group of friends and I plan on kayaking from Service Creek to Cottonwood Park (147 miles), but most of our kayaks are just your cheap $200-300 ones.. and they're going to be heavy.., I dont want to take any unnecessary risks. Also is there a store in Clarno, or somewhere to get drinking water? I've driven through that town many times for work, but I dont remember seeing a store..?
There’s no services for you in Clarno. Think wilderness adventure, unreliable springs with agricultural land runoff, lots of it. Last week the river was 24k+ cfs and this week still big at 5k cfs for a $200 plastic kayak no offense. You might reschedule your trip later in the season when you’d likely have a far better time at a lower flow. Safe travels
