The Sandy Gorge is probably one of the best kept secrets on Portland's doorstep. This run is truly the "closest rafting to Portland". Nestled just off of HWY 26 near Sandy, lies one of the most beautiful and challenging runs around the state. Once in the canyon, one would be memorized by such rainforest-like vegetation, uncountable waterfalls, the amazing transformation of open valleys to deep, volcanic ash gorges, to the challenging Class IV+ whitewater. And one of the most unique features of the Sandy Gorge is that it is literally 30 minutes from Portland's Eastside communities.

River Drifters provides trips on the Sandy Gorge at two different times during the year. From March through mid-June (is the primary season), but we also offer trips during rainy periods of October and November. Hey, its' Oregon and you are going to get wet anyway, so a little liquid sunshine won't hurt! On a Sandy Gorge journey, one will be encountered with such challenging rapids like The '64, Boulder Rapids, Alder Creek, Rasp Rock, Drain Hole and Revenue Bridge Rapids. This run is chalked full of many unnamed class III and IV rapids. Midway through the trip, a hearty and healthy rivers' edge lunch will great the hungry rafter.
