One of the most relaxing river raft rides/floats we have ever taken. The scenery was beautiful. The access to the river was simple to get to and to exit. Full review by Sue K

Don’t be fooled by all the ads to rent a “heavy duty” tube for a float. The main float area of the river is super calm and doesn’t require a “heavy duty tube” as the rental companies like to advertis… Full review by David L

Loved floating on and strolling to town on this river! Easy access if you have your own float - we rented from Tumalo Creek. Full review by Phillis R

Questions & answers

Q:
Are there places on the Deschutes river that rent self-guided tours? If so, where? How strong is the current?
A:
No guided tours for the float down this section of the river. You just follow the other “floaters”. The river is safe, current slow and the experience absolutely wonderful!
Q:
Do you rent stand up paddle boards? Are there any unguided rentals? How dangerous are the rapids?
A:
You can rent paddle boards and the current is mild. You’d don’t have to go anywhere near the rapids

My family took a guided Kayak trip through the Inn of 7 Mountains about 6 years ago. It was fun but rather tame. We noticed a 1/2 price midweek rafting ad while we were there so we went back and did that. It was a short but fun trip through the Big Eddy, the rapids in the John Wayne version of Rooster Cogburn. About 3 years ago, we rafted down the McKenzie River with Sunriver. That's more of a drive from Bend but well worth it! Beautiful and so much fun! You can also rent a kayak or tubes (super fun!) from Tumalo Falls Canoe and Kayak near Drake Park
