Leave Boring Behind!

Spokane River Whitewater
Bowl and Pitcher, Riverside State Park
April - July (depends on H2O levels)

Incredible Scenery
The lower Spokane River carves its way through a steep, forested river valley, gliding between civilization and spectacular volcanic rock formations. These rock formations make the lower Spokane River “one of the most interesting class III rapids in the state.”

Family Whitewater
Leave the city behind as you dash through the wet and wild “Bowl and Pitcher” and the big wave fun of the “Devil’s Toenail.” Like the Upper Spokane, the Lower Spokane through Riverside State Park is a great introduction to rafting with just a few bigger rapids then the Upper Stretch described below.

No Experience Necessary!
The Spokane River Whitewater trip is perfect for beginners and young children who have never run a river before. Your guides are highly qualified river runners who have years of experience and hours of training on the river. Not only are they safest guides on the river, they are the "FUNNEST" guides on the river too. Squirt guns and boat games are standard on every trip.

The Spokane River will thrill and delight visitors and residents alike. After years of running the Spokane River, we still love its beauty and mesmerizing water.

Just in Case
Although the season for good whitewater is relatively short, there is still great whitewater through September on the Clark Fork River, an easy interstate drive from Spokane. Click HERE for more information about the Clark Fork River

Upper Spokane

Liberty Lake Centennial Trail to Plant's Ferry Park

April 18-June or July

The Bowl and Pitcher is by far the best whitewater run on the Spokane River, but sometimes on certain occasions we like to run the Upper Spokane River in Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake. The river, hidden behind a thriving urban market place, roams freely and unhindered beside a beautiful stretch of the Centennial Trail. The Upper Spokane river is a splashy, fun dance through scattered class II whitewater. Despite its urban setting, the river's subtle power renders the city unnoticeable as you drift and play along the Spokane River. This trip is perfect for all ages and abilities and makes for a great group float, team building trip or special occasion trip.

Please call Pangaea River Rafting for more information: 406-239-2392!
