  White Salmon River  
     
   
   

Designated for protection under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, the White Salmon is a breathtaking combination of whitewater and scenery. Fed by natural springs flowing from the glaciers of Mt. Adams, the White Salmon cascades through narrow, cliff lined basalt canyons before heading out into the warm sunshine of a forested valley. Throughout the trip, rafters are treated to continuous class III - IV rapids that challenge even our most adventurous guests. In between the rapids, you will have a chance to view lava formed rock walls, float alongside the rafts in crystal clear pools, and watch for wildlife in forests that are only accessible from the river. This incredible trip is highlighted by a vertical plunge over the legendary 10' high Husum Falls (dependent on water levels).

Hot News: In the second half of every summer, when the water levels are lower, we launch all of our White Salmon River trips from our private launch site, 2.1 miles upstream of the standard public launch site! With our private upstream put-in, we exclusively offer the longest stretch of class III-IV whitewater run by any company on the river. The additional 2.1 miles of river offer more exciting rapids, more incredible canyon scenery, and an optional cliff-jump back into the river.  This exclusive Wet Planet trip with private put-in and private take-out simply can't be matched! This trip IS a different trip ... See for yourself, and check out some photos that you will only see on the 'Wet Planet Experience on the White Salmon'.

   
   

"The rafting activity was a 'smashing' success. Staff are still raving about how much fun they had, and that they would do it again. In fact, several who did not participate were so caught up in the excitement, that they have decided to participate next time ... You and your staff have been an absolute pleasure and delight to work with. And we will be using you again. Again, thank you so much for a wonderful experience for all the rafters." Francine Arent, The Regence Group

"I just wanted to thank you all for the great time you gave us yesterday. Everyone in our group had an amazing time. None of us had ever done it before and I think you got us all hooked. We were all especially impressed with the guides ... The river was really nice, but Sarah, Liz and Hootie really made the trip extraordinary." Steven Walker, Olympia, WA
