Howdy! First thing you want to do is pick up a copy of [Soggy Sneakers] (https://www.amazon.com/Soggy-Sneakers-Willamette-Kayak-Canoe/dp/1594858705/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1473794838&sr=1-1). It's the most comprehensive guide to whitewater for the whole state.
Central Oregon is good if you've got class 4 skills. I live in Bend, but as a class 2 whitewater canoeist, I have to go elsewhere for my boating. Portland and Eugene are both good spots with lots of choices nearby for all ability levels.
If you're looking for a whole week trip, shuttling down to Corvallis and paddling the Willamette back up to the pullout in West Linn is a good 5-day expedition. I did it with the Boy Scouts one summer, and except for the one day of unseasonally torrential rain we had a great time. The Willamette River Keepers has a pretty detailed "water trail" map of the river with marked camping locations and points of interest.

Soggy Sneakers has more whitewater stuff in it, but both have a good number of flatwater trips as well.
