THE FREEDOM

Full-day independent runs

Rentals are daily rates that give you a full day on the water — the freedom to set your own pace and route on Junction City’s river sections.

THE GEAR

All essential equipment provided

PFDs and paddles are included with rentals so you can focus on navigation and the river rather than packing technical kit.

THE LOGISTICS

Shuttle options and flexible put-ins

Shuttle options to multiple put-ins allow flexible trip planning and route choices during your full-day rental.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

A rental day is a long, deliberate rhythm: arrive for check-in, collect PFD and paddle, shuttle to a chosen put-in, then stretch out across hours of river — reading waterlines, ferrying around current, and stopping where you wish before returning gear at day’s end.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental is for — and who should consider alternatives.

2
First-time RaftersNot ideal — first-time rafters are recommended to join one of the operator’s guided trips for instruction and safety oversight.

Independent Day-trippersA good match if you want autonomy for a single, full day on the water and possess the necessary river experience.
4
Guided-trip SeekersIf you prefer expert guidance or are newer to rafting, choose a guided trip instead of a self-guided rental.
