FAQs
Where can I learn more about the Klamath River Dam Removal?
For some more information on the Upper Klamath and dam removal process take a look at some recent coverage: – JPR interview with owner Bart – NPR interviews – Statesman Journal Podcast. – News 10 – Last Ride in Hells Corner: Rafters savor final season on Upper Klamath before dam removal
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes, we can! You'll be able to select either vegetarian or meat meals at checkout, and share any dietary restrictions.
What if the weather is bad?
Noah’s does not cancel trips due to natural weather events; this includes but is not limited to fires, smoke, lightning, cold or hot temperatures, and wind. The exception to this would concern safety. We will not run trips if weather events are dangerous.
What is the difficulty level of this Upper Klamath River rafting trip?
This trip includes Class IV whitewater, making it best suited for those who are comfortable with active paddling and adventure. No prior rafting experience is required, but you should be in generally good health and ready for an active trip.
Will I see wildlife?
Yes! The Upper Klamath is home to bald eagles, osprey, river otters, deer, and other wildlife. The dam removal has opened up new habitats, and each year we see more signs of ecological recovery.
Should I tip my guides?
Tipping is not required but always appreciated! If you feel your guides provided excellent service, gratuities typically range from 10-20% of the trip cost.
What class of rapids will we experience on the Upper Klamath?
The trip features a mix of Class II, III, and IV whitewater. The beginning section is mellow, while Kikaceki Canyon offers thrilling Class IV rapids before the river mellows out again in the final stretch.
Is there a weight limit?
The only requirement is that guests can fit into the PFDs (personal flotation devices). If anyone is unable to fit we can’t take them out on the river.
Do people ever fall out of the raft?
Yes, people fall out of the raft from time to time, but if you pay attention and listen to your guide, the chances of falling out are small. Young children, people with disabilities and non-swimmers can request a senior guide.
