About our Rafting Experience:
The Deschutes River Scenic Waterway winds through a picturesque desert canyon on the east side of the Cascade Mountain Range. The river offers spectacular basalt cliffs and scenery, diverse wildlife, exciting history, and of course, spectacular whitewater. The Lower Deschutes section also offers plenty of sunshine and fun for beginners, families, and experienced boaters alike, making it one of the most frequently rafted rivers in Oregon. Throughout the rafting trip there are numerous opportunities to float in the river, ride the bull through rapids, and surf the raft in waves. The 12 miles of the half day trip on the Deschutes Rivers contains numerous exciting class II-III + rapids.
Our guides will provide rafts, lifejackets and paddles. We will have extra dry bags to keep towels and phones dry. Your yoga mat/any extra clothes can stay in your vehicle at the River Drifters office. There are changing rooms available at the office.
