FAQs

If you are unfamiliar with the Harpham Flats to Sandy Beach stretch, or not experienced with maneuvering a raft through turbulent class III and IV whitewater, then please consider going with us on a guided trip! If you’ve done it once 20 years ago and “everyone made it” we still recommend a guided trip for your first time back. Oaks Springs and Wapinitia rapids can and will flip your raft over, sending your group for a river yard sale that can be unpleasant. If you are not extremely well-versed in this day stretch on the Deschutes, we do not recommend bringing small kids on the raft.

When set up as paddle rafts, 13 foot rafts fit 3 to 6 people, 14 foot rafts fit 5 to 8 maybe 9. We do not recommend filling your paddle raft with more than 9 people. Rowing frame setups take up more space and work best for 3 to 5 people max. on the raft.

Certainly! Most people want a paddle raft setup for the Maupin day stretch, but some prefer the oars instead. Let our office know which setup you’d like upon making your reservation. There is no cost difference.

Yes, we do allow dogs on our rafts, though we suggest you know the river well and be experienced in guiding a boat. Ask about our doggy lifejackets available for rent!

The whitewater day stretch in Maupin is 13 miles long. It takes about 2.5 hours if you don’t make any stops at all. With our day rentals, you have the raft from 10 am to 5 pm so you’re welcome to stretch out your time on the water by making stops for lunch, swimming and hanging out. All rental rafts need to be pulling into Sandy Beach no later than 5 pm.
