Nestled amidst rolling hills, farmland, developed to primitive land, this guided excursion offers a serene escape on the Yakima River. Embark on your journey from the charming town of Benton City and paddle downstream to the Horn Rapids boat launch. You will have the opportunity to admire the diverse variety of wildlife that call this river home.
You may spot herons, osprey, pelicans, and bald eagles along with deer, beavers and mink. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, join us as we explore the beautiful landscapes of the Yakima River.
Our tour provides an immersive experience in the heart of Washington’s scenic landscape. You may encounter a variety of wildlife, including birds such as herons and pelicans, as well as deer or other mammals. The Yakima River offers opportunities for both relaxation and adventure, with stretches of calm waters perfect for leisurely paddling and occasional riffles or small rapids for a bit of excitement.
We do not offer transportation at this time for this tour, but we will work with you to help with shuttling vehicles.
This tour runs at specific water levels of the river. We may cancel or postpone if conditions are not optimal, safe, or the river is not runnable.
