Deschutes River (Maupin)

Details...

Full-Day Rafting on the Lower Deschutes River If you’re looking for a bigger, splashier adventure, our Lower Deschutes full-day rafting trip is the one. Packed with exciting Class III whitewater, incredible canyon scenery, and a full day of fun, this trip is perfect for both first-time rafters and thrill-seekers alike. What to Expect Your adventure begins with round-trip transportation from Bend, Redmond, Sunriver, Sisters, or Black Butte Ranch. We take care of everything—gear, shuttles, lunch—so all you need to do is show up ready for fun. The Lower Deschutes is known as Central Oregon’s whitewater playground. Over the course of about 6 hours on the water (12 miles), you’ll paddle through splashy rapids like Oak Springs, White River, and Boxcar, float past dramatic basalt cliffs, and enjoy the wide-open beauty of the high desert. Our guides balance safety with excitement, tailoring the day to your group’s comfort level. Along the way, we’ll break for a riverside lunch and may even stop to swim or take a short riverside walk. At the end of the day, we’ll bring you back to your starting point—no driving, no stress, just smiles and tired arms from a full day on the water.
