Stern Frame Paddle Raft

This configuration is also where everyone is counted on for overall response to their guide’s commands. With a bit more room for error since the guide uses actual oars rather than just a guide stick to help with maneuvering, extra power and overall more last minute control of the craft. Thus, giving folk a little more leeway when it comes to paddling.

This configuration is great for family trips with lots of kids or seniors also wanting to experience a wonderful whitewater adventure, on class 2-3 raft trips.

Also a wonderful tool for guides on bigger rivers with long and technical rapids. The use of a pure paddle raft or a stern assist configuration boat is always left up to the guide depending on the river, crew make-up, weather… unless specifically requested.

Wherever your rafting adventure takes you, we hope that you at least once experience one of our great NW whitewater rafting excursions. We are sure that once you do, that you’ll be hooked as we are on rafting in Oregon and California with High Country Expeditions.
