Wenatchee River Whitewater RaftingFlowing through the Bavarian themed village of Leavenworth, the Wenatchee River’s big waves and nearly 300 days of sunshine have made it the most popular river rafting destination in Washington State.

Whitewater rafting trips on the Wenatchee River will take your breath away with thrilling class III+ whitewater action and incredible scenery. Known as the “Apple Capital of the World,” you will travel through numerous Apple Orchards while taking on rapids like “Boulder Bend,” “Drunkards Drop,” and “Snowblind.”

The Wenatchee River is a great trip for all skill levels, ages 10 and up. We provide professional guides and all the river equipment you will need.

So come join us for a day on the exciting Wenatchee River.

White Salmon RiverIn the beautiful Columbia River Gorge you will find the wild and scenic stretch of the White Salmon River that offers non-stop whitewater action. Starting your rafting experience in BZ Corner it won’t take long to get hooked on the excitement of this gor-geous river. The very first rapid, class III+ “Top Drop” will give you just a little taste of the whitewater action there is to come. Paddling through the basalt-walled gorge you’ll find yourself thinking “Is there possibly a more beautiful or magical place?” Just before you find yourself drifting off into dreamland you paddle through class III “Stairstep” rapid which never seems to disappoint. Don’t worry the ride isn’t over yet, class V “Husum Falls” is an optional exhilarating 10-foot waterfall close to the end of the trip and is guaranteed to take your breath away. If you opt out of taking the plunge and experiencing the thrill of Husum Falls, your rafting trip isn’t over yet, there’s still 2 more miles of excitement ahead. Riding the “bull” through “Rattlesnake” rapid is a highlight for most rafting guests on the White Salmon River.
