Our tours are expertly guided by knowledgeable locals of the rivers cutting through the gorgeous majesty of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Witness the glory of Glacier Peak on the horizon as you raft through one of the most breathtaking natural places on Earth.
Choosing Your River Recreation Tour
If you’re a beginner or want to take your family on a rafting tour, our tour guides will take you down the highly popular Wenatchee River or the warm Tieton River for a leisurely whitewater rafting trip. Our more challenging river tours take on the Methow River and the Skykomish River near Seattle for the thrill seekers out there.
When is the Best Time to Whitewater Raft in Washington?
During the late Spring and Summertime, the water comes flowing down from Mount Baker-Snoqualmie and Mount Glacier at its highest rate. Not only does the warm weather produce a heavy flow, making for a quicker, more exhilarating rafting trip, but it also produces a more suitable temperature for getting splashed!
From April to September is always a great time to go rafting in Leavenworth, but the following two months are the best months to go:
- May: As the Spring showers begin, the flowers of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest begin to bloom in an array of vibrant colors, decorating the shores alongside your whitewater rafting trip in Leavenworth, WA.
- August: The river will flow at full speed through the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, treating us to whitewater rapids rafting trips unparalleled in the state of Washington.
Preparing a Whitewater Rapids Rafting Trip
River Recreation provides some of the necessary items you’ll need to have a joyful time on the rapids of Washington. We give our riders lifejackets, oars, and helmets so that your safety is ensured.
However, you can prepare by having a light meal such as fruits and nuts at least a half hour before your rafting trip begins so you have enough energy to keep up the paddling. We also cannot stress enough a good night’s sleep so your acumen and focus are sharp enough to brave the high-energy, adrenaline-driving rapid rafting.
