This weekend is for both paddlers and NON-PADDLERS.

There are a lot of activities in the area for non-paddlers.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read this event description ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE so you'll know what our rules and recommendations are. ******** READ BEFORE PAYING----------THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION***

This is a Class 2 river, but it is a great beginner class 2. The rapids all have great recovery pools below them in case of a swim.

If you are comfortable on Class 1, and think you are ready to move up then this is the ideal trip to try that. We do have a few sit on top whitewater boats if you don't think you are ready for a spray skirt. Check with me if you have any doubts about doing this trip. The outfitters also rent rafts and inflatable kayaks.

We are staying on 28 acres in a barn converted to a house. There are 2 private bedrooms and one large sleeping room with 6 queen beds. This will be a co-ed trip. Camping on the property is also available. Sit on top, white-water kayaks available to rent.

Cost is for the weekend. That includes a bed for Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, breakfast and Dinner Friday, Breakfast and Dinner Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. I will also have makings for sandwiches for lunch Friday, Saturday and day Sunday. So that gets you three nights in the house plus 5 meals (and 3 lunches). Trust me, that is cheaper than staying in a local hotel and then driving down the road and eating in one of the local spots, and our food is better! If we get any rain, there is a large, covered porch. It really is a nice place to hang out with our tribe.

There are several price options
1st. Couple in a private room, queen bed. $900.00 (1 available)
2nd. Couple in private room, double bed. $850.00 (1 available)
3rd. Single, queen bed in the bunkroom, $400.00 (6 available)
4th. Camping $250.00 per person (5 available)

THIS IS A CLASS II RIVER. PLEASE DO NOT PLAN TO PADDLE A HARD KAYAK IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE PADDLING AT THIS LEVEL. YOU CAN PADDLE A REC BOAT IF YOU PREFER BUT HELMETS AND SPRAY SKIRTS ARE REQUIRED. I have extra helmets. Sit on tops boats are also fine on this river. We do have some non-paddlers who plan to take either rubber ducks or rafts down the river. If you have no interest in paddling, there is a lot to do in the area. Beautiful hiking and a winery you can check out.

THIS IS A FUN GUIDED TRIP, NOT A CLASS! We will be paddling Friday and Saturday. If you want to paddle Sunday, I will do your shuttle but will not be paddling. Trips will be led by qualified guides.
