1. White Water Rafting
It’s no surprise that Lake Chelan and surrounding areas have fast-paced rivers filled with roaring rapids just waiting for you to grab an oar and ride.
One spot to have an extreme adventure like never before is white water rafting down the Methow River, located in the Methow Valley, northeast of Chelan.
One of the most convenient ways to hit up the rapids and get the most of your experience is by visiting Methow Rafting and taking a guided tour. Depending on how extreme you want, the guided rafting tour has different sections of the river mapped out for your preference. Enjoy the smooth scenic drift of the class II section of the river if you prefer or the exhilarating white water section of class IV.
Regardless, you’ll enjoy every minute of this thrilling adventure!
