What Our Customers Are Saying
Client Reviews
Should be in your bucket list! Outstanding experience! We had so much fun, and definitely go back again!Thank you to the OWL team, they were great!
Family resort worth its weight in gold. It was a great 2 days — everything I hoped for and more. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. It was my third visit. The amenities had increased from my last visit time here, wish i was younger to enjoy them. New dry sauna, volleyball courts, Frisbee golf. Licensed to serve alcohol, restaurant. Had the 2 days rafting and meals included 2 breakfast,2 lunches and one steak dinner with baked potato and corn on the cob.
Medium Intensity Rafting It was an amazing day — everything I hoped for and more. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely friendly. It was my first visit, and I’m already looking forward to going back.
Epic Times Was very epic. Corbin deserves a raise and our camara man Archie does too. They were pretty darn cool. Very expensive though so poor farmers cannot afford to return. Many tears, such sadness. We cried our woes as we looked at all the fun times we had, knowing we can never afford to return.
But 100% give those dudes a raise (so Corbin can fix his shirt sleeve button)
Amazing trip 10/10 Amazing experience. Safe without being boring on safety. We went with my 9 year old daughter who loved it. The rapids were challenging for an intro trip in the sense it didn’t feel really dull. Food also delicious! Our Guide Ben was great.
High Intensity 10/10 Had a great time, guides are well trained and knowledgeable. Learned a lot about rafting and the history of the area. High-Intensity trip was a lot of fun and we had a great crew. Thanks Easton and all the OWL Rafting staff. Looking forward to coming back.Cheers!

Girls trip 2025 (A trip to remember) This was an experience of a lifetime something to tick off the bucket list ! We went with family and friends i believe 16-18 of us (Rentner Group). You guys are an amazing bunch from everyone to store front, kitchen, cooks, pontoon crew and of course the raft guides. The first Day my group had Alex he was a great start for my virgin rafting blood he eased me into it and was absolutely great !! Then came KC well let's just say she was an absolute powerhouse surfing the rapids for as long as we did i hauling my *** out of the water, she was an absolute riot and could not have asked for a better 2nd day guide tell her pinky says hi! .
The food was absolutely great you never went hungry !
I could not say enough great things about OWL and their staff. Would highly reccomend and trust me you won't be disappointed! Great job guys !!!!
Pinky!!!
The best experience! Lucas guided us through the extreme white water rafting experience. He was super knowledgeable and made the day super enjoyable for all of us on the raft. Our day was filled with laughter and lots of rapids. He went the extra mile to ensure we all had a good experience.
An Awesome Experience!! We had a fantastic time! We camped overnight the night before to ensure we were there on time for the morning orientation and rafting. This included a great breakfast. The staff was both professional, focused on safety, and a lot of fun! You can tell they all love what they are doing. Colin - our guide on the river - was great he knew everything about every rapid and told us stories about past times down the river that kept it all fun. all the while focusing on ensuring we had the information needed for safety. Wrap it all up with lunch on the pontoon boat. My daughter and I had a second to none memorable experience. Thanks to all the staff at OWL Rafting for making our experience awesome!!(Note - this is a resubmitted review - the first time the website incorrectly marked this as a one star in error, resubmitting to ensure it is a 5 star as we had a great time!)
