We raft about 60 miles of the Lochsa. Generally, on 3-day trips, we begin near the headwaters of the Lochsa, where Crooked and White Sand creeks meet. These trips begin on gentle waters, allowing us to practice our paddling skills and learn the ways of the river. The next two days are filled with one exploding rapid after another. Then, on the 3rd day, we repeat the 2nd day since this section has the wildest rapids.

Mile for mile, the Lochsa is unequaled for whitewater excitement. Whitewater is only one of the many attractions of the Lochsa. Our camps are set amidst cedar forests in a deep, thickly forested canyon. We may enjoy sightings of eagles and osprey as well as numerous other birds. This trip covers the same section of river as the last 2 days of the 3-day trip, and include one night camping on the ROW Island.
