As Oregon’s largest whitewater festival, we offer something for everyone. From the recreational boater enjoying the river with family and friends to professional paddlers, this year’s festival is sure to be fun for the whole family.

The festival competitions invite all whitewater enthusiasts at any skill level. A few fun events on tap include Inflatable and Hard Shell Kayak races, Oar Boat slalom, canoe and Cataraft slaloms, mass start Pack Raft, Kayak and IK races. Plus the Stand Up Paddle board slalom and downriver races.

Whether you’re getting wet competing in an event or a spectator on the riverbank, the festival is a great place to learn about river and boating safety as well as protecting our rivers and watersheds. Vendor Village is the perfect place to pick-up some new gear and check out the best of whitewater products made by Northwest manufacturers. This is the only place you can see all of the best whitewater boats and take them for a spin on the river (you must bring your personal rafting gear).
