What an amazing experience! This was the first time we took the kids (11 and 9) rafting and they loved it. The guides were great and made the trip so much fun. Pat, Greg and the crew were professional making safety their number one concern, yet were fun on the river and gave us a great ride. Kids want to go back and we will do so soon. Lawson's also has a full service bar, food truck, patio which was great pre/post trip. While we didn't stay, the yurts and cabins look nice. The staff we met were all very friendly and helpful.

Drew and Greg were amazing! We felt completely at ease in the water with them and most importantly we felt confident under there instructions. We saw another rafting company have some mishaps on the river and we were definitely relieved to be with two amazing knowledgeable gentleman. I couldn’t have asked for a better time, they made the first so memorable it’s going to be hard to beat next time! The company had great gear including wetsuits waterproof jacket life vests and wet shoes. Everything you need to keep you comfortable while getting splashed by some frigid water. There entire crew from the driver Elias and Kaelyn our photographer made this experience top notch! Make sure to purchase your photos you are going to want to remember every moment. We stayed in one of there top notch beautifully decorated and outfitted cabins for a few nights and then ate and drank with the team and other guests. Al the chef on property is fantastic! Our hosts Amelia and Michael made everything completely at ease with awesome personalities and all the information you need to make the trip go smoothly. Did I mention this place is dog friendly too! So much to do not just rafting. Come check it out! I know I will be back many more times.

Loved the family feel of the Lawson Adventure Park & Resort. They provided a wetsuit, neoprene booties, splash jacket and helmet and gave excellent guidance before, during, and after our whitewater rafting experience on what to do and where to go and best places to eat around town. They were so helpful and friendly and we could tell they really enjoyed what they did. There were bathrooms and showers we could use before and after and food and drink at the place (which we didn’t try but will next time, because there WILL be a next time). They have a lot more to offer than just whitewater rafting so go check it out!!
