The Skagit River is a Northwest treasure. Close to Seattle, located at the western entrance of the North Cascades on the Cascade Loop, the Skagit River provides outdoor enjoyment throughout the year. This Wild and Scenic River runs right through the North Cascades National Park. Surrounded by the beautiful scenery the Northwest is known for, this river can be enjoyed by all ages.

The Best Skagit River Rafting Trips

We pride ourselves in offering the best Skagit River rafting trips available. Our trips are based out of our North Cascades getaway - 8 acres alongside the Skagit River providing plenty of parking, camping, and, for those who like to like to be pampered, our Skagit River Guesthouse. And, don’t forget our food - all of our summer trips come complete with our famous Choice Top Sirloin Steak BBQ – check out our menu!

Turn your trip into an unforgettable weekend by staying at our Skagit River Guesthouse.

Upper Skagit Whitewater Trip

The Upper Skagit River offers class 2-3 whitewater all year long, beginning in the North Cascades National Park. Float along and enjoy spectacular surroundings wile playing games, exploring, and fun whitewater along the way. With plenty of calm water between rapids, it's great for beginners and families.

Children 5 and up are welcome – for younger kids, check out our Lower Skagit Float Trip, below.

Lower Skagit Float Trip

The Lower Skagit River offers a class 1 flatwater float. Relax and enjoy the scenery and wildlife or enjoy the day playing with water fighting and games – it’s up to you!

Our Lower Skagit float trips meet at the same location and times as our whitewater trips so it’s a great option for the less adventurous members of your group. All ages are welcome.

Skagit River Overnighters

Turn a day trip into a mini-vacation. We offer two-day, three-day, or longer (upon request) packages. Our overnight trips on the Skagit River allow you to choose any combination of the upper (whitewater) and lower (flatwater) sections of the Skagit River. Leave the rest to us! Our overnight trips include 5 meals for two-day getaways or 8 meals for three-day getaways (check out our menu!), camping (your tent our ours) alongside the river at our riverside property (or upgrade to a stay in the Guesthouse), rafting each day, and unforgettable memories!

Special Event: Bald Eagle Tours

November – March
In the winter months we offer bald eagle tours on the Lower Skagit. During this time the Skagit River is host to over 500 migrating eagles from Canada and Alaska that stop to feast on our abundant salmon runs. This section of the Skagit River is flatwater and you'll stay warm under blankets and sipping hot chocolate as you get a close-up look a these majestic birds. This is a special favorite of photography lovers as the calm water allows you to photograph from the boats.
