Tieton River White Water Rafting Trip

Aug 23, 2025 to Aug 23, 2025
Naches, WA, 1-5pm

Welcome to the 2025 Tieton River White Water Rafting Trip!

 
Get a jump on Labor Day weekend with an unforgettable whitewater adventure on the Tieton River! Join us the weekend before the holiday for one of the most exciting whitewater trips in Washington. The Tieton flows fast and fun in late summer, making it the perfect adrenaline-filled getaway. Come just for the rafting or make a weekend of it—explore the Yakima Valley with local hikes, wineries, and relaxing vibes.
 
About White Water Rafting:
Fed by Rimrock Lake’s warm waters released in late August and September, the Tieton, a favorite for whitewater enthusiasts, offers a fast-paced ride with continuous Class III–IV rapids and the steepest gradient of most any river—dropping 58 feet per mile. Its short season makes it extra special, delivering warm water, thrilling rapids, and striking fall colors set against Eastern Washington’s rugged landscape.
 
We rendezvous off Hwy 12 at an exclusive private park-like riverside location where we have parking, shade trees, changing rooms/bathrooms with real flush toilets. All you rafting gear is included (with a wide range of sizes)  - just have swimsuits under your street clothes for easy changing). Everybody gets to participate and paddle the raft. Kids as young as 5 or 6 years of age can go but the majority of the participants in each raft should be teens or big kids or adults so the raft has paddle power. We'll meet at 1pm on Saturday and you'll be back to your vehicle by 5pm after the 15 miles, 4 hour journey.
 
Book soon!  The Forest Service restricts the number of people on the river, so space is limited and it's a "first paid, first served" situation. No refunds, however your spot is transferable. 
 
Want to Make a Weekend of It:
The rafting company offers free camping sites for this who want to continue to enjoy the great outdoors.  I can also make arrangements for you at other lodgings in the area, including a couple I've personally stayed at. .
