"My family and I went on a
rafting trip with your outfit on July 4th. Our guide, Matt, was GREAT! He
was very nice, knowledgeable about the area and the river and we had a
fantastic time. Thanks for a great experience...we will contact your
company and arrange for another rafting trip."

- Full-Day McKenzie River Rafting Trips
Full-Day McKenzie River rafting trips are 13 miles
long with Class II-III rapids. You'll spend approximately 4 hours on the river.
Total trip length is about 6-7hours with lunch, put-in and take-out. Put-in is
at Paradise Campground and take-out is at Forest Glen.
The first half of the full day trip is the same as the
morning half-day trip. After lunch the river mellows a bit but still has some
fun rapids and great scenery. Note: the full-day trip is not morning and
afternoon half-day trips combined. The take-out for the full day trip is above
the put-in for the afternoon half-day trip by about 5 miles.
- 2-Day McKenzie River Rafting Trips
A 2-Day whitewater rafting trip on the McKenzie River
travels the same route of the Full-Day trip but allows for more time to enjoy
the river canyon. On our 2-Day trips there is always plenty of time to take a
side-hike, fish, swim, kick back, read a book and much more. We'll provide
delicious gourmet meals prepared with fresh ingredients on your 2-Day McKenzie
River rafting trip.
Life seems so much simpler on a 2-Day rafting trip
because we take care of everything! All you have to do is relax and enjoy
yourself. There's no email, cell phones, television or other distracting modern
inventions... you get to leave everything behind as you step into the wilds of
the McKenzie River.
