The Wenatchee River float gets rave reviews as a relaxing, scenic adventure that works beautifully for multi-generational groups. Past visitors loved the flexibility to go at their own pace, with no strict time limits and the freedom to pull over at small beaches to explore, snack, or just take in the gorgeous mountain views. The 2-mile float option seems particularly popular for a leisurely afternoon, offering the right mix of calm stretches and fun rapids. What really stands out is how smoothly everything runs. The staff consistently earn praise for being friendly and accommodating, with facilities like changing rooms, shuttle vans, and even a foot wash station keeping things organized. People appreciate practical touches like the option to rent an extra tube for a cooler, and the convenient downtown location makes it easy to walk from nearby hotels. Equipment arrives properly inflated and well-maintained, which matters more than you'd think. Groups ranging from kids to seniors report feeling safe and well-supported throughout, making this an activity that delivers exactly what it promises without unnecessary complications.
Staff was friendly and helpful. We felt safe the whole time and everyone had a blast! I appreciated that there was no real time limit. We chose LOC because they let us ride at our own speed. It was fun having the freedom to detour the river to explore small beaches. We saw fish, ducks, and the views were top notch. We will be back.
