The Lochsa River - 1 to 3 days. ROW Adventures' most exciting one-day whitewater trip, this is recommended for those with previous rafting experience. In May and June the river is cold and fast. In latter June and July it slows down and warms up but still packs plenty of punch.

Bruneau and Owyhee Rivers - 4 to 17 days. The most remote, isolated wilderness white water rafting trips in the lower 48 States! These desert rivers flow from the mountains of northern Nevada through enchanting canyon lands similar to Utah’s Bryce or Zion National Parks.

The water is fast-flowing and cold and we provide wetsuits and booties. The Moyie flows through a roadless canyon of thick cedar forest.

The St. Joe - 1 day. Raftable only in May, June and early July, this is similar to the Moyie in terms of being a cold, fast-flowing river. The scenery is gorgeous with cedar-lined banks and a seldom-traveled road alongside.
