What to Expect on our Skagit Whitewater Rafting Trips

We meet at our private getaway property on the side of the Skagit River. Here you’ll get your gear (wetsuit, neoprene booties, lifejacket, and optional splash jacket) and enjoy a light snack lunch. Then we head up to Goodell Creek where our trip begins. For the first half of the trip you'll enjoy the beauty of the Northwest as you float down the river with views of the North Cascades and wildlife on the banks - watch for beavers, deer, and waterfowl of all kinds. We’ll enjoy water fighting, games, and maybe even go for a swim.

The occasional class 2 rapid along the way adds excitement and plenty of time to prepare for the challenge of the day, the "S-Curves," a series of three class 3 rapids, the whitewater highlight of the day. Then we’ll continue on the second half of the trip with more floating, playing, and the occasional class 2 rapid. At the end of our journey, we’ll pull into the Ranch for a well-earned steak BBQ.
