Going, Going, Gone Green

Before it was cool, we always thought it was logical to provide our guests with Oregon spring water. On our Rogue River rafting, kayaking, and hiking trips we'd fill our guests' water bottles from large Igloo coolers. The water came from local designated and regulated tap sources. Been doing that for the 25 years we've been in business.

For the last couple years the push has been to provide bottled water for our guests. It was discouraging to us because we saw the vast amount of plastic produced by these bottles. Now, studies show that bottled water is no healthier than tap water and it is a humungous source for plastic waste. Over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away.


We're glad to see that this recent trend is reversing itself and it is once again "cool" to re-fill your water bottle on the river! You can be sure that we will continue to promote the common sense approach of drinking healthy, local Oregon spring water....with none of the waste.
