Fun river, but not recommended for first year beginners or those who have only been on lakes or those who have only been on slow rivers, (i.e Upper Rogue, Flat)

If you have any questions about if you should attempt this river, please talk with an organizer.

Drivers, meet before taking off to be sure no one is left behind. Volunteers for shuttle drivers are highly appreciated, and earn the "Guide" title in your profile. (please text me to remind me)

Once the drivers return, we will provide a safety brief, then do a group photo before anyone goes on the river.
