Methow River Rafting Trip - An Exhilerating River Experience!

Methow River Rafting Trips

SKILL LEVEL: Beginner CLASS: 3 to 4

Enjoy the dry climate and arid hillsides of the lower Methow Valley, as you explode through some of the best whitewater in the state. You will plunge through such rapids as Hurricane, the Jolly Green Giant, the Mother Lode, and the legendary Black Canyon containing the fearsome Black Hole (you'll want to paddle hard to avoid it). This river is filled with huge holes, long rollercoaster wavetrains, and lots of class III-IV fun! This river trip is only offered on Sundays this year, so be sure to make reservations early for this exciting ride!

 

Methow River Rafting Trips

You will begin your day at the Lightning Pine RV park right atour put-in for the river trip, where your guides will be waiting. We'll have a light snack for you to enjoy before the trip (chips and salsa, cheese and crackers). We will get everyone geared up with wetsuits, booties, paddles, and lifejackets and answer any questions you may have before the trip. The guides will give a safety talk about the things you need to be aware of on the river and you'll meet your guide for the day...then you're off!

The river trip itself is about 2-3 hours long. We'll take out right before the confluence with the Columbia River, and shuttle you back to the top where you can change into dry clothes while we heat up the grills. Enjoy our top sirloin steak bbq, summer salad, corn on the cob, french bread, and other goodies to finish off your trip. This river is located right on the North Cascades Scenic Highway, so you have the option of returning to the West side of the state on this very beautiful drive.
