Mark and his team have built something special here with their weekend rafting trips that go well beyond just time on the water. The multi-day experiences include surprisingly good meals (people rave about the Saturday night steak dinner), camping right along the river, and unexpected touches like hammocks, outdoor movies, and a blacklight dance party that guests consistently mention as highlights. The atmosphere feels social and energetic, with groups bringing friends year after year and families bonding over the rapids. Several reviewers note this has become an annual tradition, bringing more people each time. Important to know: these are self-guided trips, meaning you're navigating the rapids yourself without a guide in your boat. Most people love the independence and learning experience, but it does require some confidence on the water. A few reviewers suggest bringing helmets since you'll likely hit rocks and spend time in the water. One detailed negative review described serious safety concerns and communication issues with management during a difficult first-time experience, though this seems to be an outlier among otherwise enthusiastic feedback. The Class II and III rapids provide genuine thrills without being overwhelming, and the water temperature stays comfortable throughout the season.
This white water rafting trip is the best!!! It is so well organized and top-notch all the way.. it is a beautiful area and the river is a perfect River to run even if you are a beginner! The dinner and the breakfast that they prepare for you at the campsite is delicious, campsite is right next to the river where you can swim in the late afternoon after you raft... Staff is super experienced, fun to be around, very helpful and knowledgeable! We give this five stars all the way and think everyone should do this, a real bucket list thing to do!
