The Lower Methow Half-Day is a family favorite! It is a lower-valley float that is mellow and beautiful, an enjoyable, introductory stretch of river. This trip can be done in rafts (ages 6+) and/or inflatable kayaks (ages 16+). This trip meanders below the rolling golden foothills of the North Cascades and includes a few small rapids.

Only thirty-five minutes drive from both Winthrop and Chelan. Because it is two hours on the water, you’ll have plenty of time for another half-day activity to complete your day.

After getting geared up (all river gear is provided), you will hop on the bus and drive five minutes up-valley to the put-in. Your guide will give you a safety talk and review paddling techniques. After that you will push off and begin floating down the beautiful Methow River.

The meeting location is 1114 State Route 153, Methow, WA, 98834. Follow the signs for parking and outfitting.
