The wildlife viewing is pretty spectacular on Hosmer lake during the summer.  Captured this eagle on a kayak float. Several pairs of eagles make their home at Hosmer Lake during the summer and they are pretty easy to see. Lots of bird species make their nest here, as well as, beaver and land mammals. The lake is easy to float with a kayak, canoe, or SUP. No motorized boats here though!!! Keeping it wild! It’s a great way to see the high cascades in summer.

Packrafting allows a new way of experiencing the wilderness. We hike boats in, and paddle out. The Minam River wilderness run is in North Eastern Oregon, a 13 mile hike in, 40 mile boat out. Read more about the adventure here.

A few hours from Bend the blue waters of the North Umpqua River are the perfect spot for a rafting adventure.
