This is a quick trip and is a good place to “test the water” without committing to an all day river trip.
NO RENTAL OR SHUTTLE SERVICES ARE CURRENTLY OFFERED BY HWC.
It is your responsibility to plan your own trip. We are only assisting you in facilitating your adventure.
You must provide your own boat , equipment, life jackets, and set your own shuttle.
River trips are class 1 or 2 depending on water level and obstacles that constantly change with the river (Class 3 if you are passing through the rapids at WOKA). River conditions warrant experienced paddlers and proper planning. We suggest departing earlier for a more leisure trip to accommodate for lunch stops, fishing or swimming.
If you do not want to paddle and are relying only on the current to carry you downriver, the trip could take significantly longer. Times can vary considerably based on flow and physical effort.
A reasonable average trip time when paddling is about 2 mph travel speed. Times will be significantly longer if you are in a tube or paddle raft. Do your own research of the river and weather conditions.
