Deschutes 1 Day Guided Trip

We meet at the rendezvous point at 10:00 am.

Our day begins with travel to the put in at Harpham Flats, an orientation talk and a safety lecture. After this we divide up into our boat groups, stow our gear, put on our life jackets and begin learning how to maneuver the boat. Your guide will show you the techniques needed to navigate the river and to get the most fun out of your day of rafting.

The first part of the day includes learning proper paddle technique, running Wapinita and Boxcar rapids and perfecting our water fighting skills. After approximately 2 hours wešll stop along the rivers edge for a delicious deli style lunch. After lunch its back to the boats in search of more white water excitement. Surf City, Oak Springs, White River, Upper Elevator and Lower Elevator are the rapids of choice. If you want wešll stop for an exciting swim through Upper Elevator, seeing 5 foot high waves from eye level is an awesome experience! In between the rapids wešll have the opportunity to swim, relax and enjoy the scenery as we float along in calm pools.

At Sandy Beach wešll get in the bus for a short portage around the awesome class six waterfall, Shears Falls. We put back in at Buck Hollow for three more exciting rapids (Upper and Lower Trestles and Wreck rapids) while experiencing the scenic lower river canyon.

The river trip ends at Pine Tree approximately 5 hours after our put in time. We provide transportation back to the rendezvous point. Plan on 7 hours total time with All Star Rafting.
