California's Lower Klamath river
whitewater rafting trips are ideal for families and others. The Klamath is a
superb wilderness waterway. It offers endless vistas of spectacular scenery,
warm water, excellent side hikes, and a wealth of wildlife.
 All of this and more await on the Klamath, a
river forever preserved due to its exceptional value as a wilderness area! We
invite you and your group to experience one of the best multi-day wilderness
river trips in the west.
The Lower Klamath River Rafting Journey is a
playful multi-day trip that is well suited for those seeking a more fun and
less fierce whitewater experience. Be sure to see our
Upper Klamath river
rafting trips page for information on the much more challenging and
demanding class IV-IV+ adventure.
Our Lower Klamath river rafting trip
features peaceful calms, exciting rapids, incredible campsites, gourmet meals,
state-of-the-art equipment, including self-bailing inflatable kayaks,
professional, friendly and exceptionally experienced guides, and, above all
else, the opportunity to have a great time on a grand adventure with friends
and family.
When combined with the fact that the Lower Klamath is only
a day's drive from both the Bay Area and the Portland/Seattle area, and has
nearby commercial air service in Medford, Oregon, it makes sense to consider
the Klamath for your next adventure vacation!

Destination Wilderness' Lower Klamath River
Rafting Journey is classic wilderness river adventure in a beautiful mountain
setting. These trips, over 30 miles long and three or four days in length,
include the most secluded and enjoyable portions of the Lower Klamath. This is
an excellent river for first-time river runners, families, or any whitewater
rafting enthusiasts looking for a fun and peaceful wilderness escape.
We are also happy to offer private charter whitewater rafting trips for
families, groups of friends, colleagues, etc. Please contact our office for
details.
After our rendezvous, we transfer all personal gear into the
waterproof bags, rig the rafts, participate in a safety presentation, and then
head downstream! While running the Klamath, each day brings a taste of fun
class II and III whitewater, relaxing warm calms, incredible scenery, and a
variety of wildlife.
All camping gear is carried with us on oar boats.
We camp each night on a sandy beach under a canopy of sparkling stars. On these
trips we offer three types of crafts: paddle boats, in which each person helps
power the raft through the rapids as a guide directs the crew from the back;
oar boats, which carry gear and passengers, providing endless opportunities to
sit back, relax and watch the world float by; and inflatable kayaks for the
intrepid paddlers wishing to tackle the whitewater on their own.
 In addition to running the river we have time to look
out for wildlife, fish, and explore side canyons, including beautiful Ukonom
Falls, where 20-foot high twin falls cascade into a creek. In addition, it is
very common to spot wildlife on this trip. While never guaranteed, many guests
see deer, bear, river otter, bald eagle, and osprey.
Meals for this
trip are prepared by the Destination Wilderness
guides
(who some have labeled master chefs!), beginning with lunch on day one and
ending with snacks and beverages at the end of the trip. These meals are best
described as gourmet: tasty, filling, and healthy!
