Adams River Rafting

Adams River Rafting is a family-friendly white water adventure company located in Scotch Creek, BC, in operation since 1983. They offer a 2.5-hour round-trip rafting experience down the Adams River, which is home to the famous Adams River Sockeye Salmon Run. Guests can join for a memorable adventure on their own, or celebrate special events, youth functions, or corporate gatherings. The rafting trip covers a 10km section of the Adams River, with a break for learning about Indigenous culture, the sockeye salmon run, and opportunities for cliff jumping. The experience takes place within Tsutswecw Provincial Park, a name meaning "many fish" in the Secwepemc language. This trip is suitable for all skill levels, from experienced rafters to first-timers. During the summer months (July and August), the company encourages family groups with children aged 7 and up to participate. The river temperatures can reach up to 25 degrees Celsius, allowing for swimming alongside the raft with fun, manageable rapids for younger participants. In June, during the spring flows, the river conditions are more dynamic with higher water levels, offering bigger rapids for thrill-seekers and experienced rafters. For these cooler conditions, wetsuits and fleece jackets are provided to ensure guest comfort.
