For anyone interested in recommendations, this (Upper Klamath) is the river trip for fun, excitement and beautiful scenery (the blackberries were fantastic). Still trying to wipe the smiles off our faces. You guys were very professional. It was the highlight of our trip.

Whitewater Rafting


Oregon and California rivers including the McKenzie River, Upper Klamath River, Rogue River, Cal-Salmon River, Scott River and the Lower Klamath River offer some of the purest whitewater rafting experiences in the country. Whitewater rafting trips can vary from Class 2,3,4 & class 5. If a trip is labeled a whitewater adventure, it usually means that it's a team participatory sport where everyone is in involved in some way.



  • California Salmon River Rafting
    The Northwest's Premier Class V Whitewater River

    The California Salmon River (aka Cal-Salmon) is one of the Northwest’s premier class 4 / 5 spring river rafting runs. This challenging and beautiful river offers amazing class V California whitewater rafting, plunging through a narrow steep-walled gorge of glistening marble and granite. The California Salmon river flows out of the Marble Mountains and Salmon-Trinity Wilderness Areas down into the Klamath river located within the Klamath National Forest, offering amazing whitewater rafting adventures.




  • Upper McKenzie River Rafting
    The perfect all-around class II - III family fun river trip.

    Oregon's McKenzie River is one of the treasures of the Pacific Northwest. This Oregon gem is a classic alpine river high in the Cascade Range, with its headwaters located at Clear Lake. Cascading through a canyon blanketed in Douglas fir and old growth forest, this river is a crystal clear jewel with an abundance of dancing rapids. Its rich history and spectacular scenery make it one of the finest all-around rivers in Oregon.

    Our McKenzie River Rafting trips begin at the 2 highest possible access points. These are the only launches located in the protected and designated "wild & scenic" raft-able section of the McKenzie River. This area located below Olallie and Frissell boat launch are by far the most pristine, beautiful and exciting portions of the river. When booking your rafting trips, ask if you will be experiencing the sections above Paradise campground. Our half-day trips are approx. 13 miles in lenght & our full-day river rafting trips cover approx. 20 river miles.




  • Upper Klamath River Rafting
    Oregon's Upper Klamath offers the best class IV summertime whitewater rafting trip The Wild and Scenic "Hell's Corner" of the Upper Klamath offers non-stop, fun and exciting whitewater rafting for most of the year. This upper most 20 mile portion of the Klamath River is Oregon's only consistent, and without a doubt the best Class 4+ whitewater rafting experience throughout the summer. The section is located between 2 power generating Dams, providing consistent water releases throughout the year. This means great whitewater rafting. Located in the southern most region of Oregon and nestled between Klamath Falls & Ashland, the UK (aka Upper Klamath) is close but very remote. Being one of the newest members to federally designated "wild & scenic" rivers in north America, makes this adventure one to be experienced.

  • Rogue River Rafting
    Southern Oregons' introduction to Whitewater Rafting on the Rogue River.

    The world renowned Rogue River is a national treasure offering pristine scenery, exciting rapids, warm clear water, excellent fishing and abundant wildlife. The half & full day sections of the Rogue River also known as the “upper middle” portion is located in southern Oregon, a short distance fromAshland, Medford and Grants Pass.
    High Country Expeditions offers a fun and exciting guided run on this portion of the Rogue also known as “the Nugget Run”. It is the ideal adventure for families and individuals wanting to experience the wonderful world of whitewater rafting.




  • Scott River Rafting
    Northern California's hidden whitewater rafting class V treasure.

    The Scott River, like the California Salmon River (aka Cal-Salmon) is one of the premiere and most thrilling California class V springtime whitewater rafting rivers. A sister to the California Salmon River located about 45 minutes from each other, they share many of the same attributes. It is an incredible and seldom run river with technical and continuous class IV and V rapids. The Scott River is a non-stop high adventure trip set in a very remote lush forest canyon with an abundance of wildlife. Northern California’s Scott river is a perfect day trip from Ashland & Mt. Shasta for experienced paddlers looking for a classic Class V whitewater adventure. We recommend adding the Scott River trip with our 2, 3 or 4 day California Salmon River trips, and making it a Grand Slam adventure of class 4 – 5 whitewater rafting at its purest.
