Thompson
Raft with REO on the Thompson River, one of the most popular river rafting runs in Canada. Be one of the many people to raft the Thompson this summer and enjoy the huge roller coaster waves, desert canyon scenery, hot climate and warm water for swimming.
The best time to raft the legendary Thompson is August and September. As the river level drops in the hot summer heat, the waves become bigger and more defined, perfect for a paddle rafting adventure.
The prime whitewater action starts about halfway between Spences Bridge and Lytton BC. The lower Thompson features 15 solid Class 3 & 4 whitewater rapids starting with the Frog rapid, a turbulent section that squeezes around a house-sized rock that looks like a frog. Downstream, the river crashes through several big rapids including the Devils Kitchen, Witch's Cauldron, Cutting Board, and Jaws.
