WELCOME PADDLERS!

The river is in the upper part of the Low Range, a good level for running most trips. For today, we are running as normal, offering canoes, kayaks, rafts, paddleboards and tubes.  Best paddling day trips are #1, 2 & 4. Best fishing trips are #1, 2, SP2 & SP3. Shorten up your trip, float and relax more. Remember to bring plenty of drinking water, snacks, sunscreen, shoes that you can wear in the river (No Flip-Flops) and a change of clothes. Also. remember to always wear your life vest!

Our online store is open, and we are shipping orders or making items available for in-store pickup.

NOTE: Be advised that river conditions can change rapidly with sudden storms or heavy rain in the upper watershed. Also, water temperature can vary as much as six degrees or more in a single day.
