Deschutes Half Day Whitewater River Rafting Trip Itinerary 

Our day begins by meeting us at the All Star office in Maupin for either your 9:30 am or 2:00 pm trip. Please arrive 15 minutes early to get checked in, get your sunscreen on and get ready to go on a half day Oregon rafting trip!  We then have a short ride up river to the boat launch at Harpham Flat, where your guide will walk you through an orientation and safety talk.  Once on the water, your guide will show you the correct paddling techniques needed to navigate the river and to get the most fun out of your day of rafting.

The trip includes running Wapinitia, Boxcar, Surf City, Oak Springs, White River, Upper and Lower Elevator rapids. For those who want to, we stop for an exciting swim through Upper Elevator, a class 2 wave train. Seeing 5 foot high waves from eye level is an awesome experience! In between the rapids we'll have the opportunity to swim, relax and enjoy the scenery (and water fight) as we float along in calm pools.  The day ends at Sandy Beach approximately 3.5 hours after our put in time.  We provide transportation back to the All Star office where you can get changed and organized for your trip home.

Our office is located at 405 Deschutes Ave, Maupin, OR, 97037
