In the spring, this Wild and Scenic River is a rockin’, rollin’ class III-IV River, with “the biggest waves in the Cascade Mountain Range” with rapid after classic rapid. When flows are at their highest, Carter Bridge Rapid, Hole-in-the-Wall, Toilet Bowl, Bob’s Hole and other rapids provide an opportunity to get your adrenaline flowing. During the spring we offer full-day trips.

In the summer months the river becomes an ideal place for river rafters seeking a fun but not aggressive rafting experience. The scenery, solitude, warm mountain air, and energizing rapids combine to create a perfect river adventure for families, mature travelers, and first-timers featuring fun class III rapids, tranquil calm and beautiful forest scenery. We offer both half and full day trips during the summer months.
