The Whitewater Highlights of Our Full Day Trips!

Half-day trips embark from Dryden dam, between Cashmere and Leavenworth. From there, the excitement begins immediately as you launch directly into Upper Gorilla and Sharkstooth, filled with lots of fun waves. A few rapids later is Rodeo Hole, where you’ll often see colorful kayakers showing off their moves - this is their favorite play spot on the Wenatchee River.

Soon you’ll be upon the unforgetable waves of Drunkards Drop, exciting walls of green and white water! The finale is the sandstone ledges of Snowblind, and the massive waves of Grannys and Suffacator. Many more thrills are along the way. See how you do trying to get into the Cave! Not everyone makes it!

Our trip ends at Riverside Park, where you’ll change back into your dry clothes, relive your river rafting trip and laugh about the highlights. There’s plenty of time for Frisbee, soccer, flying kites, and anything else you can think of in Cashmeres open and grassy riverside park.

"I booked the Wenatchee River half day trip because my dad was visiting from Texas, and I wanted to show him how great the Northwest was. I couldn’t have been happier! My dad and I are novice rafters but with the guide's help we caught on quickly. All in all it was a great experience I was able to share with my dad. Thank you so much!!!"
