ABOUT THE EXPEDITION:
Join the Go Wild team for this small group, one-of-a-kind fall paddling adventure! Experience 6 days paddling through the West's largest expanse of wild land on fun class II-III water practicing paddling skills, fishing for bass, catfish, and carp, and learning about conservation efforts in the area.
The Owyhee Canyonlands are a vast tract of land running from southern Idaho and Nevada through southeast Oregon. Characterized by massive basalt plateaus and a wild, free-flowing river: it's some of the most remote country you'll ever experience.
Rafting the Owyhee in the spring is a popular and busy affair. In 2025, we became the only outfitter to offer low-water, autumn float trips- guaranteeing solitude, amazing wildlife viewing, incredible fishing, and a truly one-of-a-kind trip with a maximum of 8 guests.

PLEASE NOTE: You will be paddling your own single packraft on this adventure. The trip is suitable for most paddling levels, but please contact us if you have any reservations or if this will your first time paddling on class II/III water.
For our Oct 3-8, 2025 maiden voyage, space is very limited. If you're interested in a bringing a larger group, contact us about private trips.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Just a few reasons we love these trips:
WILD: Experience the West's largest expanse of wild land from the water

LEARN: the basics of packrafting including paddle strokes, gear, loading, safety, how to fly fish, and locally-specific conservation practices

CONSERVATION: learn about and take part in one the landmark effort to designate the Owyhee Canyonlands a national monument

DINE: on chef-prepared, hyper-local gourmet camp grub

UNIQUE & EXCLUSIVE: in 2025 Go Wild became the only permitted packrafting guide on the Owyhee River to off fall floats

EXPLORE & DISCONNECT: travel with an intimate small group through one of the most remote and rugged tracts of land in the west with local professional and certified guides
