Sauk River Rafting
The Sauk River is the best kept white water and scenic river rafting trip secret in the Cascades. Tumbling out of the pristine Glacier Peak Wilderness, the clear, free-flowing Sauk River is considered by white water kayakers to have some of the finest ‘play’ waves in Washington state. The Forest Service only allows four river rafting outfitters to provide river trips on the Sauk River and Orion River Rafting is proud to say that we are one of them. Therefore, when you enjoy a Sauk River rafting trip, you are one of only several hundred who are able to float the river for the season. And, chances are, you and your crew mates will have the whole federally designated Wild & Scenic river to yourselves.
The Wild & Scenic Sauk River, a tributary of the Skagit River, flows south to north past the lumber town of Darrington, Washington, and the massive, glacier-draped White Horse Mountain.
