The trip put-in is 6 miles up from the quaint little town of Maupin, OR (population 500). After a training session with one of our certified guides,your journey will get under way as you practice your paddling skills on several warm-up rapids. Two miles into the trip we experience our first major rapid, Wapinitia. Boxcar Rapids is next, known for it huge "kicker wave". Two miles of easy rapids follow Boxcar allowing us to unwind before lunch.
We will break for lunch at the Imperial Lodge where your raft will approach the dock as the smell of grilled chicken floats through the air. After your well earned lunch and maybe a little volleyball we head back out on the river. Island Rapid and Surf-City known for their huge standing waves will be our first post-lunch encounter. Shortly after Surf City we approach Oak Springs Rapid, with its numerous rock shelves and turbulent waters. As Oak Springs ends White River Rapids begins and carries on into Upper Elevator. Those interested in adding a little zest to their trip are allowed to float Upper Elevator in their life jackets. Challenging rapids such as Lower Elevator mark our final venture into whitewater.
The final mile of our trip sees the river narrow and the turbulance increase. Our guides will carefully guide our raft into the takeout area at "Sandy Beach" which marks the end of your ultimate day of Whitewater Fun.
This trip is for the entire family. We hope to hear from you soon!
