Winter Rafting the Pine River
Are you ready for an all new way to experience the Pine? We are now offering guided winter rafting trips! Rafts are extremely stable, thus making them the perfect craft to use in the winter. You don’t have to worry about getting wet – the only water in the boat should be from the occasional paddle splash and snow coming down!
The trips take place from Walker Bridge to Lincoln Bridge on the Pine. In a raft, this stretch of river takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes – long enough to soak in the scenery, but not long enough to freeze! While the trips are guided, we are giving everyone their choice of either having the guide in the raft with them or canoeing alongside them.
At the end of your rafting trip, you get the option of either receiving a ride from us back to the starting point where your vehicles are waiting, or of hiking the beautiful Silver Creek Pathway back to your cars. The Silver Creek Pathway runs on both sides of the river – one side is a 1.7 mile hike while the other is about 2.4 miles. It is a gorgeous, riverside trail with beautiful overlooks on the river. If you choose to hike, we will happily take back to your vehicles any thermoses, extra layers of clothing, etc, that you do not want with you on your hike. If some of your group wants to hike and some wants to ride back, we are happy to accommodate that as well.
We offer rafting trips 7 days a week, twice a day. We generally launch the first trip at 10:00 AM and the second trip at 1:00 PM. Since the trips are guided, reservations are required.
Winter Rafting Rates:
2 people - $50/person
3 – 9 people - $40/person
10+ people - $35/person
know you probably have a ton of customers to remember so I don't assume you remember my son Paul and me from two weeks ago. But I just wanted to thank you for getting us on the river and to let you know that e had a great trip. The Pine is a jewel as you know and e feel really blessed to have shared it together father and son. The fishing was so good it caused us to get to camp just before dark. The brown trout we kept panned up nicely and we enjoyed it by our campfire. We love it on the river and Paul's first home-school project is a narrated video/photo story of an adventure that still fills our minds and hearts. The last day thru to Low Bridge was just a gift from God. The clear skies and bright early morning sun just made the river magical. I don't know when we will be back but I guarantee we will, and you all well be part of that visit. Thanks again for the service and hand shake. God bless you.
