The Skagit River Scenic Raft Trip is offered between April and October along the "Wild and Scenic" section of the river. This is where the largest concentration of wintering Bald Eagles found anywhere within the lower 48 states visit the Skagit River during the winter months from November to February. During the winter months we offer a Skagit River Eagle Float through this same section where you may see up to 500 eagles coming to feed on late runs of chum salmon.

The Bald Eagles migrate south from Canada and Alaska to find good food and clean water. The Skagit River, bordered by maple and cottonwood trees large enough to support the huge birds, provides the environment to suit their tastes. Although not as many eagles populate the area there are many resident eagles, as well as blue heron, red-tailed hawks and a variety of ducks.

Our personable guides are very knowledgeable about this area and the river.  Many of them have been guiding this trip for 10 years or more and they fully enjoy sharing this wonder with visitors. Very adept at spotting plant and wildlife your guide will relate the rich history and ecology of the Skagit. This 8 mile float covers the Wild and Scenic Section of the Skagit River. 

Allow about 4 hours for this trip from meeting time to return to your car. It's suitable for all ages as there is no white water.  Bring your cameras for the many photo opportunities. Meet in Rockport, Washington. Prior to embarking on your safe inflatable raft our guides will brief you with our safety talk about this trip.

We provide shuttle service, life jackets and extra rain ponchos when necessary.  Please bring layers of clothing as the weather can be unpredictable - either cool or quite warm.  You can always remove a layer.
