Garett Swigart, Guide at Blue Sky Whitewater Rafting
Blue Sky Whitewater Rafting brings guests onto two of Oregon’s most scenic rivers, offering well-guided runs on the Upper and Lower Clackamas along with the North Santiam. With more than 27 years of experience on these waterways, the guide team focuses on safe, steady, and enjoyable river travel for groups of all ages. Each trip is designed to match the river’s conditions, giving guests a clear and confident path through moving water, forested bends, and wide, peaceful stretches. The goal is simple: provide a day outside that feels smooth, organized, and rewarding from start to finish.
Trips begin at the Moore Creek Boat Access Site, a convenient meeting point with easy parking and quick river entry. Blue Sky operates high-sided NRS rafts built for stability and comfort, with space for up to six guests per unit. With fifteen rafts available, the team can host families, small groups, corporate outings, or friends looking for an outdoor activity that doesn’t require prior experience. Life jackets support up to 350 pounds, and seating can be arranged as sit-in or sit-on-top depending on the group’s preference.
The Clackamas River offers a mix of steady current, riffles, and fun wave trains, making it a great fit for guests who want movement without intensity. The North Santiam adds scenic bends, wide channels, and beautiful stretches of cold, clear water surrounded by towering evergreens. Guides provide clear instruction, paddle rhythm, and ongoing support throughout the route, ensuring each guest stays comfortable and relaxed during the run.
Morning trips begin at 7 AM, allowing groups to catch prime river conditions and cooler air. A minimum of four guests is required for launch, and rates are available on the Blue Sky website. Each trip includes gear, guidance, and an organized plan for the day. Guests simply show up ready to enjoy the river.
Blue Sky Whitewater Rafting combines professional knowledge, dependable equipment, and decades of on-river experience to create a smooth, memorable outing on two of Oregon’s finest waterways.
