THE DESCHUTES
RAFTING BEND OREGON

The Deschutes River begins its journey in the Cascade Mountains of Central Oregon, creating a diverse and scenic river way as it travels north through the high desert sunshine of Central Oregon to its final destination in the Columbia River Gorge. Whitewater rafting is at its best on the last 100 miles of the Deschutes’ northward journey, offering a variety of well-defined sections delivering moderate, but big and splashy rapids.

Full-Day Trips

Throughout the day we’ll cover 13 of the most popular and exciting miles of the Lower Deschutes River, running from Harpham Flat to Sandy Beach and including the Wapanitia, Boxcar, Oaksprings and Elevator rapids. A delicious riverside deli lunch is prepared by our guides. If time and conditions allow, we’ll take a short hike to the natural water slides at White River or do a little “body surfing” through the waves at Elevator rapid.

Includes round-trip transportation from Bend or Redmond, deli buffet lunch, Deschutes Boater’s Pass, and paddle jackets and pants on cooler days.
