elcome to Momentum River Expeditions! We offer world-class whitewater
rafting on the Klamath River. The river is the second largest
in California and has more then 180 miles of whitewater. This
page lists only our Klamath River rafting trips, so please visit
our home
page for an introduction to Momentum and a complete interactive
map of our rafting adventures.
Starting near Crater Lake National Park in Oregon the river
carves a beautiful and diverse canyon through the Cascades,
the Klamath Mountains, and finally the Coast Range. The name
“Klamath” means swiftness in Chinook and swift is
a perfect description of our Upper
Klamath run. This is our most popular river trip and offers
not only the most exciting summer rafting in Oregon, but in
the entire west coast. It is fun, addictive, and has over thirty
class III and IV rapids in quick succession.
The
Lower Klamath slows some and becomes perfect for families,
beginners, and relaxed adventurers. Fun whitewater, beautiful
side hikes and a staggering amount of wildlife are found in
this rugged canyon. We also offer inflatable kayak options on
this stretch, a high adventure option for those wanting to run
the river unassisted.
Momentum is a small guide owned and operated company offering
unparalleled personal service, excellent organic meals, an owner
leading every adventure, and guides with at least 8 years of
experience leading trips all over the world. Join us for a Klamath
River rafting trip like no other!
