Our main attraction is whitewater rafting on the Upper Deschutes through Big Eddy rapids. This trip is approximately 90 minutes round trip with an hour spent floating and navigating the rapids of Big Eddy! In 3 miles you will encounter two class 1, two class 2 and five class 3 rapids! This trip is suitable for all skill levels from age 6 and up. We take photos in the class 3 section and are available for purchase as a memento of your trip. We also offer Stand Up Paddle Board tours which explore the calm waters of the Upper Deschutes River. These guided tours are a great way to learn about the geology while seeing places that are not frequently traveled. In the winter season the resort property is transformed into a winter wonderland that features an ice skating rink that is open to the public.
