We specialize in private party raft trips, allowing us to customize each
trip according to your specific group; from mellow floats through the scenic,
less crowded sections of the river, to the premier class III+ whitewater
run. We really want your river trip to be a special and unique experience
for you, your friends or family.
Each group chooses their meals for the trip from our unique river menu:
like prime rib hot out of a Dutch oven; Chris’s balsamic chicken stewed
with red peppers and onions; spinach lasagna with mushrooms and three cheeses;
or choose Dutch oven enchiladas for a Mexican theme. And there are always
homemade hors’derves every evening. Lunches are deli style with chips,
cookies and fruit; enough to satisfy even Dagwood.
We run the Klamath from March through October. Spring time flows can
be from 10-15,000 cfs with huge waves and monster eddies that will get
your heart pumping as you paddle past a giant hole that nobody in their
right mind would attempt. In the Summer as the river drops, the rapids
become more technical requiring precise maneuvering; there is more time
to relax, float in your life jacket between rapids and enjoy the scenery.
And the river is absolutely beautiful in Autumn, with Fall colors you
wouldn’t believe; we’d have the river to ourselves!
The Klamath is well known for its salmon and steelhead fishing, during
some seasons you can watch them roll or jump right next to the boat. One
of North America’s most diverse ecosystems, the Klamath will offer
you a chance to see bears, bald eagles, osprey, blue and green herons,
mergansers, wood ducks, wild geese, river otters, mink, the shy fisher,
turtles and maybe the ever elusive bigfoot.
River Country’s headquarters and private camp are located on the
river ¼ mile downstream from Indian Creek river access in Happy
Camp, facing Curley Jack rapid. Everything you see on the river you can
see from our private camp. Guests have a choice of camping on the river
as we raft down the beautiful Klamath, at our private riverside beach
camp here at our headquarters, or we can arrange motel lodging for your
nights here in Happy Camp.
River country’s motto is “safety first, safety last and everything
else fits in between”. Hope to see you on the river.
