The OKCC is dedicated to promoting safety on the river. We recommend every paddler take a rescue course. These are taught by local professionals including Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe and eNRG. Several local clubs also have safety classes at various times during the year. OKCC recommends the annual safety weekend presented by Willamette Kayak and Canoe Club.
