Where:  Camping at Big Pines Campground Friday – Sunday.  On Saturday we will put in at Bighorn Campground and take out at Roza Boat Launch

 

Meeting Place and Times:

  • Camping at Big Pines is on a first come, first served basis so plan on arriving early on Friday if you are opting to camp.

This is very a gentle river rafting float on a Class 0 river (aka a beer float).  Bring your own floating device such as an inflatable kayak or boat, inner tube, multi-person floating island, etc. or you may rent one from our put-in spot at Bighorn.
