The Frenzy 5 Mile
Want to hit two of the biggest rapids on the Deschutes and fit a great whitewater adventure into your tight vacationing schedule? Did you hit Maupin late in the afternoon? The Frenzy Five is the trip for you. After you check in at the lodge, we’ll shuttle you up to the put in at Harpham Flat, 5 miles up river. You’ll paddle through Wapinitia, Disco, Devil’s Hole, Boxcar, and Rodeo rapids. There is time for a brief swim, then you’ll take out at the lodge. You won’t find a faster and more active stretch of water on this section of the Deschutes. And it’s so much fun!!
(This short trip is only offered once daily, in the afternoon.)

We run the best all day rafting trip on the Deschutes River…no doubt about it. No crowds! Private launches on our OWN PROPERTY where a lodge, restaurant and bar are waiting for your relaxation and enjoyment. No parking on the street just to meet in a parking lot and be shuttled to the river. At Imperial, you check in in the heart of our riverfront property and enjoy our spacious lawn until your launch time. Did we mention that we are right on the Deschutes river?
Plus, our very experienced river guides know how to run the Deschutes River and have a lot of fun, but most importantly are safe while doing it. They choose to live their summer on the river and look forward to spending the day with you. (They also look forward to telling you a few of their stories and bad jokes, too.) But, seriously….they are very well trained and most importantly respect the water. They take simple precautions to make sure you have a terrific day and stay safe doing it.
We’ll always judge your skill level and desired aggressiveness on the river and take the appropriate path on the river to ensure 2 things: success and enjoyment. Every single river trip is different from the last. Our guides make sure the trip you receive is the trip you want
