Winding Water River Expeditions

Wallowa/Grande Ronde Fly Fishing

The Grande Ronde River

The Grande Ronde River is a tributary of the Snake River, and offers some of the most scenic views in all of Oregon. It’s headwaters flow from the Elk Horn and Wallowa Mountains, past the stunning Blue Mountains and through deep basalt canyons. The untamed beauty of the Northwest provides the perfect backdrop for a one-of-a-kind rafting adventure. Our guides will help you navigate easy class II whitewater rapids on one of our single or multi-day trips. We can even create a customized trip just for your group. Let us know what you need!
