Tieton River Whitewater Rafting
4 Hours
From $109
Catch excitement within a limited time! The Tieton River is at its swiftest during the month of September when the floodgates of Rimrock Lake open. As a result, the mostly calm river transforms into a fast and furious course. During this month, the Tieton River boasts Class 3 and 4 rapids. Water movement that is rated in these tiers is widely known for high speeds and bumpy rides. In other words, Mother Nature has set up a mean coaster for rafters to challenge.
