When the snow melts, the Lochsa River awakens, one of the greatest whitewater flows in the country – and the world. 37 Class III, 25 Class IV, and two Class V rapids will get your arms burning and your heart pumping. The names of the rapids say it all – Grim Reaper, Pipeline, Lochsa Falls, Termination – and you won’t get much rest between. As Outside magazine says, “Unlike other big western whitewater, which runs pool-and-drop, most of the Lochsa simply drops, with little respite between rapids.”
Lewis & Clark Trail Adventures knows that much of your experience relies on the personality and expertise of your guide. Rest assured, LCTA Lochsa River guides know how to show you a good time, beginning with a complete safety briefing prior to launching. Some of the guides have been guiding the Lochsa for over ten years!
Lewis & Clark Trail Adventures Lochsa River trips are based from the historic Lochsa Lodge, only 50 miles from Missoula, MT. Surrounded by ancient cedar trees on the banks of the Lochsa River, you can enjoy a warm cabin, homemade meals from classic to gourmet. A perfect way to spend a weekend. Because the Lochsa is a free-flowing river and navigable only during high water, this trip is available during May and June only.
