Green River
Whitewater Rafting
A Thrilling Adventure through a Moss-Covered Canyon
Easily one of the most sought after whitewater rafting trips in the Washington, the Green River only runs a few times a year and depends on water releases from the Howard Hansen Dam. But, when the conditions are just right, this 14 mile journey mixes some of the most unique scenery of this area that is not accessible by any other means, with some of the best class 3 – 4 whitewater around.

Winding around overhanging rock cliffs with water falls pouring into the white water rapids, you are immersed in a lost world when rafting the Green River. Many describe the area as feeling like your in Jurassic Park!
