The Methow offers some excellent scenery of the Okanagan Territory, and is known for its hot weather. Most importantly, it contains one of the best stretches of whitewater in the entire state. We recommend this river to be enjoyed by new and veteran paddlers alike who need to quench their whitewater appetite. This is a great river for kids (12 and up) and first-time paddlers.

During this adventure you will pass through rapid like Road Side Attraction, Eliminator, and Green Bridge Rapids. Those are only a warm up for what lies ahead! Before you know it you can hear the rush of Black Canyon as you round the bend into this class IV rapid. You will have a moment to celebrate conquering the Canyon before you realize you're about to take on the river wide rapid Staircase! The Methow is perfect for those who have a whitewater appetite to satisfy. In addition the Methow river is near the town of Pateros, Lake Chelan, Omak, twisp, and Winthrop the Methow is the perfect river if you are driving the Cascade loop.

The Methow River also offers the option of inflatable kayaking. If there's a few of the more adventurous in your family or group, they might want to try an inflatable kayak. Or add one to the group for everyone to share have one or two of your group's "seats" be inflatable kayaks and everyone can get a turn.

Guides, instruction, rafts, equipment, wetsuits, shuttle transportation, and, of course, our famous riverside lunch buffet (Currently testing out and improving our lunch options) are all included. Let us know if there is anything special you'd like and we'll try to accommodate you.
