WHY TO WHITEWATER RAFT WITH
WAVE TREK RAFTING!

White water rafting on the Skykomish River is our specialty. Nestled in Washington's North Central Cascade Mountains, there is no better way to spend a day than rafting the Main Skykomish River. When the warm days of summer set in and the water goes down, we also offer inflatable kayaking. For your added safety our guides are trained in swift water rescue, first Aid and CPR, and we always run with support. All river trips have group discounts and see how you can get a FREE trip. If you are planning a trip, be sure to take a look at what to wear.

Our guides have the experience and training to get you through even the roughest waters.

Exhilarating rapids such as "Aquagasm", "Lunch Hole", "Proctor Rapid", and "Deja Vu" will continue to keep your adrenaline pumping.

TIETON RIVER
 

The birthplace of this spectacular river lies high in the snowfields of the Goat Rocks Wilderness. During the spring and summer, a large earth dam, forming Rimrock Lake, retains the melt off from these snowfields. Then, every September, the Bureau of Land Reclamation opens the floodgates of the dam, sending 2,000 CFS down the Tieton Valley. There is only one word to describe this river and that is FAST. The Tieton is the steepest river that we run, with a 600-foot drop in elevation from launch to finish.

WHITE SALMON RIVER
 

When you arrive at the put-in for the White Salmon, looking over the large cliffs, you will be convinced of the exciting day that awaits. As you walk to the edge of a large cliff, you will get your first glimpse of the White Salmon. Once in the river, the rapids are consecutive and the current swift all in the shadow of Mt Adams. Within seconds, we will be faced with fantastic rapids such as "Shark's Fin," "Corkscrew Falls," and "Waterspout." Permission to raft the White Salmon is granted by the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
