We first went out with Lost Paddle last summer. Our very first rafting trip, and it was mellow and a perfect entry for our then 9-year-old daughter. This summer, we went back with family and the water was running high - very exciting. We had Frank as a guide and loved every minute of it! So we took more friends back with us a week later! Maddy was our guide and our experience was a bit more adventurous. A boat behind us lost a paddler and Maddy reacted SO quickly to get our boat turned around, paddling toward and helping the floating swimmer, who was terrified but unharmed. She is a true expert, made us feel very safe but also gave our kids an amazing experience on the river. We'll be back again and again!
