The Perfect Introduction to Rafting!

We start this adventure at the River House in Index, our beautifully restored adventure facility. Here you’ll view our safety video and receive your river gear; a wetsuit, booties, helmet, and PFD (changing rooms provided).

Next, we’ll shuttle you up to our private campground where you’ll be treated to an informative and fun “paddle talk” from your guide prior to launching the rafts.

Our exclusive launch spot, at the confluence of Trout Creek and the North Fork of the Skykomish River, is a tributary known for its plentiful minerals and mining significance.

This limited season adventure is available during spring water levels and is typically open from April to early-June. Please note that at peak water levels we enforce an increased age limit of 16+. We have alternate Class III river sections available during summer months — please call for current river levels and availability if you do not see any dates available on our calendar.

What to Bring

Each paddler will need to bring…

  • a swimsuit
  • a long-sleeved fleece or polypropylene top (or rash guard) for sun protection and a bit of warmth
  • a towel

We also suggest croakies (a strap for your glasses – these can be purchased for $8-$10 in our Gear Shop if needed), sunscreen, and a windbreaker depending on the weather. You are welcome to bring your waterproof camera and a sun hat/visor if desired.
