The Lower Klamath provides an ideal multi day whitewater rafting experience for families, first timers, not to mention scouts looking to get their whitewater merit badges. One of the first two rivers in California to receive the Federal “Wild & Scenic” designation, the Lower Klamath River is the heart of the 2nd largest river system in California and one of the last rivers in California left running free and undammed for an extended stretch (180 miles).
The Lower Klamath River meanders through the spectacular scenic forest of the northwest corner in California. From Southern Oregon to the “Lost Coast” of California, the Klamath is treasured for its scenic beauty, diverse wildlife and recreational opportunities. Bald eagles, river otters, turtles and other wildlife are plentiful. The fishing is unbelievable and the terrain breath-taking. Not to mention it is the home to legendary stories of Bigfoot and other cryptids. Making it an ideal setting for families, kids, fisherman, or anyone looking for a multi day white water rafting trip in the wilderness.
WET River Trips specializes in providing the highest quality trips for every type of group. Whether you are looking for a family rafting trip, have a school, church or scout group you want to take on a multi day white water rafting trip, want to experience blue-ribbon fishing, would like to take on the rapids on your own in inflatable kayaks, or hike up to the secluded Ukonom Falls, come see why a Lower Klamath River whitewater rafting trip is such an unforgettable experience. On top of all of that, WET River Trips specializes in custom and charter trips to fit your group’s needs.
The rapids are fun and splashy without being overly intimidating for first timers. With the option to ride in inflatable or sit-on top kayaks there can be more than enough excitement for anyone. The water of the river is warm and comfortable, opening the opportunities for relaxing in swimming holes. The riverside camps have large welcoming beaches.
The Ukonom Falls Trail is one of the true gems of this trip. This quick side hike offers the opportunity to get up close to one of the most picturesque waterfall in the state. This hike is only accessible to those willing to traverse the river, virtually ensuring your group will be the only ones present at the falls.
Don’t forget to add the Video Package to your reservation so you can relive your adventure and share it with friends.
Happy Camp, California

EXCELLENTBased on 256 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Kelly Cox-GonzalezOctober 18, 2024I attended a WET 2-day Middle and South Fork rafting trip with some friends a few weeks back and it AWESOME! Our guides Ant, Drew, and Walker were super friendly and fun, and very knowledgeable about the river and its history. It really helped ease my nerves knowing that our guides were so well versed. White water rafting was both a nerve racking and thrilling experience! I would absolutely recommend taking a trip with the WET crew! This trip really convinced me to be more open to outdoorsy experiences like this! Thanks so much for such an incredible weekend!! :)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.John LewisOctober 9, 2024Excellent Experience! Earlier this summer I went on a "Chili Bar" trip with a Big group. The hospitality of the WET crew was great from beginning to end! We had boats of all abilities and the guides definitely catered to each group, especially the boat of teenage boys. The trip was great, but if I'm honest, that top half of the river left me wanting more. Later in the summer I had the opportunity to take a group out again and the "Gorge" was exactly what we needed! Thank you WET! We will be back next year, maybe even for the Middle Fork!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Brittany RickettsOctober 1, 2024My friends and I had an absolute BLAST with WET on our white water rafting trip. We got so incredibly lucky with the absolute best guides: Ant, Drew, and Walker. They were the perfect mix of fun and stern and lead us to greatness all down the river! They ensured our safety and kept us laughing through all the rapids. The campsite and provided meals were also excellent. They took such good care of us!!! It was literally an awesome experience. If we were to go again, we would only choose WET! Thanks so much for such a memorable weekend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sean GillenSeptember 29, 2024Had an awesome two day trip for a 30th birthday, 14 people with Ant, Drew, Walker as guides, shout out to Noel and will for driving too (and driving our diabetic friend back to the car early). Very well organized and a ton of fun.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Lauren FordyceSeptember 23, 2024Had so much fun rafting with guide Hayley! Will definitely be back :)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Brigitte RabieSeptember 19, 2024We did the two day rafting trip with the more mellow rapids on Day One and Class 4 rapids on Day Two. Our guide Hailey was very professional and did an excellent job of teaching us how to work together to navigate the rapids. We had a lot of opportunities to get in the water and cool off and Hailey was good about helping us conserve energy so we weren’t too exhausted by the end of Day Two. Having the meals included was a huge plus. Not only were they delicious but it meant that we could just sit back and relax! We also did the GoPro and it was a lot of fun to watch later on. Highly recommend! I look forward to going again next year!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Nathan SecrestSeptember 17, 2024Guides were super friendly and fun to talk with. Everything on our end felt relaxed even though I’m sure the guides had logistics to be aware of. Campground hosts for WET were also superb and were able to accommodate a last minute request for grill support.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Andrew ElmsSeptember 16, 2024Awesome experience! Fantastic guides! Looking forward to doing it again next season.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.KatherineSeptember 6, 2024So fun my cousin and I started planning our next rafting trip as soon as we got back to the car :D Guides Stu (Stew?), Jo, and Walker are all very friendly and fun! And the Australian fellow, I think his name is Matthew?, in addition to being friendly and fun is also quite heroic and may be part mountain goat XD Thank you to these wonderful guides for facilitating the fun and keeping us safe! (On the Middle Fork: watching them raft down the big waterfall is wild! They are so pro!! Very impressive.) If you’re on the fence about rafting, DO IIIIT!! Everyone we bullied into coming with us had a blast. You will too ;)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Alex CohenSeptember 1, 202410/10 experience - was super fun and a great time.
