We just did the half day trip with Indigo Creek Outfitters. From our 12 yr old: “Our guide (Aldar) was great and we saw many animals while rafting! We saw lots of birds (swallows, ospreys, and bald eagles), deer, and beavers. The rafting itself was very fun and we got soaking wet.”
They run things smoothly — the shop in Ashland had restrooms, change rooms and plenty of parking space. We got drinks, fruits and snacks after the trip while watching our nice group photos showed up on the screen. It’s nice that they us these photos for free.
