What to Bring on your Rafting Trip
 

Here is a list of items we suggest you bring on your rafting trip. Multi-day trips on the Lower Klamath, Rogue, and Owyhee are wilderness style...we take everything with us on a separate gear raft. Please pack as lightly as possible. You will probably need less than you think. You will have a waterproof bag for all of your personal clothing (including your sleeping bag). Tents, pads and tarps will be packed separately. If you wish to bring a tent, it should be small and lightweight, and please mark it (and your pad and tarp) with your name. On all other trips you'll have access to your vehicle or our van, so packing isn't as critical.

owyhee river gearDuring the summer, we will probably be wearing swim suits and sun protection clothing only. The weather is generally hot and sunny, but afternoon rain showers occasionally happen. Early mornings can be cool until the sun reaches the canyon.

In the spring, farmer john style wetsuits (or drysuits) are needed on all rivers. Fleece type clothing is recommended. Cotton and down dry out slowly and have no insulating value when wet. The weather can vary from warm and sunny to cold and rainy. Please come prepared for a variety of weather conditions and make seasonal adjustments to what you bring.

If you wish to rent camping gear, we have tents, sleeping bags, and pads available. For spring trips, we have farmer john wetsuits (included on the Upper Klamath) and neoprene booties. On Class 2 and 3 trips during the summer we bring a few inflatable kayaks for shared use. If you would like to have an extra kayak reserved for yourself or to share with friends you may rent additional ones. Please let us know if you need rental equipment when making your reservation.
