Family Rafting Some of the most beautiful, scenic and exciting rivers are located in Oregon and California, offering wonderful family rafting experiences. Family Rafting trips are some of the most memorable, exciting, and true bonding activities one can do with the entire family. Here at High Country Expeditions, a few of us are proud parents, which over the past few years has really impacted the energy, thought and overall trip focus and structure that is put into our family rafting adventures. Taking the family rafting is a wonderful way to open their eyes to the outdoors, rivers, wildlife and overall adventure consciousness. Our McKenzie River, Rogue River, and Klamath River(for teens and up) trips offer fun, excitement and the opportunity to spend quality time with your family in an amazingly beautiful setting. These rivers offer fun, playful rapids, pristine scenery and wildlife that is exciting and the perfect way to introduce your family to the Oregon outdoors. We offer rafting trips perfect for kids as young as 4yrs, others ideal for teens and some great for seniors.

McKenzie River 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.

Rogue River 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 from Ashland, 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.

Upper Klamath River 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, which in turn 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.
