The meeting place for your raft trip is located within 4 blocks of exit #239 of Interstate 35. Take the Scanlon Exit #239 (located near mile marker #239) and, whether or not you were traveling from the north or south, take a right off the exit onto Hwy 45 North. Proceed 1 block to the stop light, and turn right onto Hwy 61 East. Proceed another block, make the next right onto Rivergate Avenue, then an immediate left onto the frontage road. We share our parking lot with "THE RIVER INN BAR AND GRILL" on the bank of the river. If you cross over the St. Louis River you've gone too far. MORE FRIENDS WANT TO JOIN THE TRIP? Often, once your initial rafting reservations are made, friends decide they would like to join in the fun. NO PROBLEM! As long as we still have space available on your trip you can increase the size of your group by calling our reservation hotline (218) 384-4637 between the hours of 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM. We'll make every effort to accommodate you.
A
SHIRT WITH SLEEVES (T-SHIRT, etc.) MUST BE WORN UNDER OUR LIFE
JACKETS. PLEASE TRUST AND FOLLOW OUR ADVICE. It's based upon years of experience and reflects our ongoing effort at minimizing the risk of the sport and providing for you the most pleasant, most exciting and safest trip possible. Please call us (218) 384-4637 if we can answer any questions or help make this one of the most memorable outdoor adventures you've ever had. OUR TRIPS RUN RAIN OR SHINE. You'll get wet anyway. You'll stay warm if you follow our advice on clothing. If necessary, you can always opt to rent a wet suit to ensure your comfort. Trips can be canceled ONLY by us due to health threatening conditions. We issue no rain checks. Also, within 2 weeks of your trip, your commitment is non-refundable and your trip will not be rescheduled. We reserve the right to cancel due to safety concerns, extreme high or low river conditions or low attendance. If we do cancel, we are not responsible for costs incurred other than reimbursement of rafting fees and, of course, you'll receive an immediate refund or an opportunity to reschedule. BRING WARM CLOTHES IN CASE OF COLD WEATHER regardless of what the conditions are at home. Weather can change suddenly and can be dramatically different in our area. Please come prepared for the worst conditions. You can stow your inclement weather gear in your car if it's a warm day. WEAR NO HEAVY COTTON ON THE RIVER. Heavy cotton clothing, including jeans, sweats or long underwear, cannot keep you warm when it gets wet - and you’re sure to get wet. To maximize your comfort, bring synthetic (fleece, rayon, polyester, nylon, etc.) or wool clothing, all of which insulate well when wet. The less cotton you wear the warmer and more comfortable you'll be. WE RENT WET SUITS – If you follow our advice on what to bring you should not need one (except in May - when we reserve the right to insist on wet suits). Wet suits are $12.00 per full suit, $6.00 per half suit. They will be available for rent when you check in for your trip, and are half price in September. If you have your own, it’s wise to always pack it just in case the weather turns against you. Under our wet suit, you should wear swim suits, synthetic long underwear or tights, or shorts & T-shirts, DO NOT BRING a lunch, water bottle, watch, or anything else on the river with you. You'll wet, lose, break that item, or it may create a hazard to you and others on the river. If you feel you must take anything on the raft with you, please consult with us before your trip. For your convenience we sell waterproof cameras. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS ARE NOT PERMITTED. We reserve the right to, and we will, deny participation (without refund) to anyone who is not sober upon arrival or during our trip. YOU MUST BE IN GOOD HEALTH TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR RIVER TRIP. You CANNOT be pregnant. You MUST be intellectually and emotionally mature enough to understand and to follow our advice. You MUST hear well and understand English very well. Our minimum age is 12 years. Under NO circumstances will a child UNDER 12 YEARS OLD be allowed on our river trip. If you have any unique medical, physical, intellectual or psychological conditions please CALL US with that information. We'll make every effort to accommodate you. Very few conditions would disqualify a person from OUR whitewater rafting trip. However, please call us regarding your unique condition as soon as possible to avoid the risk of arriving for your trip only to be disappointed. Be sure to BRING ANY MEDICATION YOU MAY NEED on river. Please read our guideline, "WHO CAN GO RAFTING WITH US".
