Our Lower Skagit float trips meet at the same location and times as our whitewater trips so it's a great option for the less adventurous members of your group. Minimum Age: 3.

Itinerary

Day 1

We meet at our riverside property on the Skagit River. Here you’ll get your gear (lifejacket and optional wetsuit and neoprene booties) and enjoy a light lunch. After your guides give a safety talk about what things you need to be aware of for your trip, we launch the boats into the river at the back of the Ranch. We’ll float along , enjoying the scenery, watching for wildlife, and playing games (river trip itself is about 4 hours). At the end of our journey, we’ll head back to the Ranch for a well-earned steak BBQ.
