North Umpqua River Whitewater Rafting

Nestled deep in the Cascade Mountain Range near Crater Lake, in southern Oregon, the boulder-strewn North Umpqua River provides a whitewater rafting experience unlike any other Orange Torpedo Trips adventure. Filled with more rapids per mile then our other floats, the increased technicality of the whitewater makes an ideal paddle for the experienced Torpedo guest and the adventurous first timer. In between rafting the numerous class II and III rapids on the North Umpqua River, the group still has time to take in the deep evergreen forest of the Cascades and to look for fish in the crystal-clear water. Adding to the exciting white water is the famous Steamboat Inn, where you stay on our multiday lodge trip. With delicious food, beautiful afternoon hiking and renowned fly fishing, this riverside inn has won multiple awards and commendations for excellence, making it the perfect spot to conclude a day of rafting. Camping trips are also available.

The North Umpqua River with Orange Torpedo Trips is an optimal whitewater rafting getaway for couples or families with teenagers. Offered in 1 or 2 day options, this river has a trip to meet everyone’s needs. An easy and scenic drive from Portland, it makes a fun weekend escape from the crowds and stresses of the city. It is also a wonderful addition for anyone visiting the nearby Crater Lake National Park. So whether you’re coming in from out of state or just looking to see a new part of the state you love to live in, now is your chance to ensure that you experience one of Oregon’s best rivers; sign up to paddle an inflatable kayak, or a paddle raft or ride on an oared raft down the spectacular North Umpqua River. Inflatable Kayaks on the North Umpqua are reserved for return customers only.
