Guided Winter Raft Trips! Experience the breathtaking beauty and solitude of winter, while floating beneath a canopy of cedars and pines covered with freshly fallen snow. Our knowledgeable staff will guide your raft down the crystal-clear Sturgeon River on a fun and narrative 1½ hour trip, offering you an excellent opportunity to see wildlife in their natural habitat. We offer 6 person rafts (12 maximum at one time, as we only have 2 rafts). A group of 24 can divide into 2 with half going rafting, the other half going snow shoeing, then switch. Rafts are spacious, relaxing, comfortable, and a great "team booster". Most importantly, they do not tip over - this is a dry trip! In the winter, our raft trips are Guided-only, to ensure the highest safety standards. All equipment is U.S. Coast Guard approved and safety-inspected, and Type III Lifejackets are required to be worn by all participants. No experience is necessary, but participation is required (this involves TEAMWORK!) A truly unique trip with memories to last a lifetime! |
