IMPORTANT WHITEWATER SAFETY INFO :
Whitewater paddling/rafting is a dangerous sport with risk of death or serious injury. The list of rafting area's below is designed to help you easily find the right stretch of whitewater to paddle based on your location and your paddling/rafting abilities, it does NOT have any information on current conditions or safety advisories for the location you select. I URGE YOU to search for more info on the selected stretch of river before you go. As well as research emergency plans and/or equipment you should bring with you. Not having the latest information about a paddling/rafting area is extremely dangerous and may cause death or serious injury.
Remember to AlWAYS wear a helmet and a LIFEJACKET on the river.
