Devil’s Gorge Run

Half Day

Between Nicomen Falls and Lytton lies the most exciting rapids of the Thompson River – Kumsheen’s most action-packed river trip.

This famous stretch of whitewater is synonymous with the Thompson River and perfect if you don’t have time for a full day or longer trip – it’s a no frills and all thrills adventure. The Kumsheen bus takes you to Shaw Springs, and after the rafts are put in, you’re heading straight towards The Frog, the first of 18 roaring rapids.

Choose between our afternoon Devils Gorge 12:00pm departure or our Devils Gorge Motor Express 9:00am departure
