The lower Deschutes
River, a National Wild and Scenic River and State Scenic Waterway
Recreation Area, includes its last 98 miles (157 km) between the
Warm Springs Indian Reservation and  its confluence with the Columbia
River near The Dalles. Outfitters on the lower Deschutes offer Very
popular single-day whitewater trips as well as multiday float trips.
The
one-day rafting trip is an enjoyable 13 mile (20 km) family-oriented
adventure between Harpham Flat and Sherars Falls. Officially known
as segment II, this popular whitewater stretch contains the lively
splashes of nearly a dozen Class III+ rapids including Wapinitia,
Box Car, Oar Springs, upper and lower Elevator, and Osborne.
During
the slower-paced, multiday raft trips, guests have ample time to
enjoy the steep, scenic basalt canyons which are home to a wide
variety of desert flora and fauna.
