Deschutes
River Rafting & Klickitat Rafting Trips Central
Oregon's mighty Deschutes River
is one of America's most popular whitewater rafting venues, and for
good reason. White Horse, Buckskin Mary, Trout Creek, Boxcar, and
other colorfully named rapids stud the river's course, amidst the
breathtaking scenery of the Deschutes River Canyon. HDRO offers a
variety of guided river trips on the Deschutes to suit your needs,
ranging from relaxing family outings to high-adrenaline whitewater
adventures. We are proud to offer awesome whitewater rafting trips
on one of Washington States best rivers, The Klickatat. This is an
early season trip for people looking for that extra thrill. We provide
wetsuits, splash jackets and booties for these trips.
We know these rivers. After all, we've been guiding rafting trips
on its stretches for nearly two decades. We've spent years perfecting
trips that make your adventure fun, easy and affordable. We offer
paddle trips (you paddle) for the adventuresome or guided oar trips
(we paddle) for those who want to sit back and enjoy the magnificent
scenery. Whatever your choice, we personalize the trip to meet the
needs of your party.
All Deschutes

and from the "take-out" back to our office. Transportation
