A few thrill seekers want to experience the raw power in a way that only an extreme kayaker can.

Running (or going over) waterfalls is dangerous and is only for those who are experienced and know the risks. This is an extreme sport and isn't for everybody, though it is fun to watch from the sidelines.
If the thought of plunging over a waterfall makes you nervous, Oregon is home to an incredible amount of gorgeous falls, no kayaking required. If hiking is more your speed, check out Silver Falls State Park for a trail containing no less than TEN WATERFALLS, one of which you can even walk behind.
