The Deschutes River
Tucked away in Central Oregon, just a two-hour drive from Portland, the Deschutes River is one of Oregons premier whitewater rivers. Discovery Outfitters; traditional Deschutes trip begins at Harpham Flats, just south of the city of Maupin, and ends 14 miles down stream at Sandy Beach. This section of river is known for its exhilarating Class III and IV rapids, with names like Boxcar, Oak Springs and The Elevator, which break up the peaceful slower water, as it wanders its way between high canyon walls. The beauty of the Deschutes is truly captivating; its high rock formations and the green oasis of life at the valley floor, contrasted by the open sky above make this an awe-inspiring float. Rain is rare on this section of the river. It is wild, it is wet, and you won't forget it! For a single day trip, this is as good as it gets.

The John Day River
If you would rather forego the rapids in exchange for unparalleled beauty and the frequent shout of: Fish On, then consider a 1 or 2 day trip on the John Day. The river is slow with class II rapids at best. Can you imagine catching a hundred fish in one day? It is possible on the John Day River, one of Central Oregon's best kept small mouth bass fishing secrets.

The McKenzie River
The McKenzie River is an excellent choice for people who want to remain on the greener side of Oregon. This narrow, fast moving river offers almost non-stop Class II and III rapids on its upper sections. It is fast-paced, and a lot of fun. The lower sections offer a little more time to relax and catch your breath, only to loose it again in a few unexpected places. The tall trees, thickly timbered banks, cool clear water and surrounding mountains make this river a favorite for many boaters. With enough to thrill the first-timer, yet still keep calling veterans back, this is truly a river for everyone.
