Policies and Agreement


  • Changes to Trip Itinerary

    During high water, low water, and some early or late season trips, it occasionally becomes necessary to move a trip to an alternate stretch of river that will provide a superior trip experience.  Trip itinerary changes are rare, but not unheard of.

    Wetsuits and Paddling Jackets may be REQUIRED on all of our trips through the end of May, and sometimes into the month of June due to high snowpack seasons.  You may bring your own, however we can provide them for you for a nominal rental fee of $20.00/set.  

    Please arrive 20 minutes prior to your Meet Time to allow plenty of time to check-in and get outfitted with Wetsuits and/or Paddling Jackets.
