What To Expect

White Salmon River

Rafting the White Salmon River is one of the best-kept recreation secrets of the Pacific Northwest! You may have seen photos or video of Husum Falls, the 10-foot commercially-run waterfall, or heard stories of incredible adrenaline-pumping whitewater rafting and we could not agree more. The White Salmon River is located only 90 minutes from the Portland/Vancouver area so that you can experience some of the most thrilling and sporty III-IV rapids in the area. The glaciers of Mt. Adams combined with the immense aquifers in the area, keep the White Salmon bubbling all summer long. The river cuts its way through one of the most beautiful, constricted, and heavily forested gorges in the area. The water is gin-clear, the weather is fabulous and rapids are big and numerous; making the White Salmon River one of the most exciting half-day or full-day river rafting trips in the west!

I cannot recommend River Drifters highly enough. Everything was so well organized and we had so much fun. Our guide, Gina, was FANTASTIC although it seemed as though all the guides were great. If you're looking for some laughs, thrills and don't mind getting wet, you won't regret a trip down the river!

Did the afternoon 1/2 day trip with husband and 4 teenage boys and had a great time! Jumped off rock, tons of rapids and went over the falls! Guide Peter was great and made it a fun time. We enjoyed hearing about his rafting experience. Highly recommend!
