Our family of four enjoyed the scenic 20-mile Canyon Float. Our awesome guide, Liam, made sure we were set up with rain gear (boots, pants, jacket, storage bag) and he shuttled us from our RV in another lot to the Lodge launch point. Liam was excellent at navigating the river, ensuring our safety, and he was so knowledgeable about the area sights and wildlife. We'd absolutely return for another float trip!

Recently had a King Salmon trip with Drifters. Our guides John and John were absolutely perfect for us. Fishing wasn't greatly successful but we knew it was early in the season before we went and didn't set our hopes too high. my husband did manage to pull one in and he us still on cloud 9 from the experience. Special shout out to John Weber. He was the only guide on the river that day with 4 women in his boat. That takes a special person ☺. Hopefully one will get to go back and give it another try.

I love Drifter’s Lodge! They were very informative, helpful, nice, prompt in responses, and were very personable. The atmosphere is unlike any other... and the view, oh the view! The sauna was waiting for us after a cold day. The morning breakfast was ready no matter what time you need to leave ours. We left at 3am one morning and they had coffee and food ready. Our fishing guide was amazing! He took us to spots where we would catch fish, and we definitely got some! King salmon and rainbow trout! Our rafting trip was ... read more
