Every September, the usually mild Tieton river becomes a class III rapid when the Rimrock Lake dam is released (for spawning salmon and to make room for the next year’s run-ff). Osprey Rafting camps out here through the entire month, and can help you navigate the 12 miles of fast, technical, whitewater. You can even camp out the night before!  

💡 IHY WISDOM: Additional Tieton river information and resources from Washington Recreational River Runners can be found here.
