Know the river

The North Toe is not a controlled amusement ride. Flow, current and exposed rocks change with weather. Current trip guidance matters more than the date on the calendar.

Plan the right day

Trip availability is managed through our online booking system. When river conditions are unsafe, trips will not be available to book.

Before you head out

  • Please note that we do not provide shuttle service for private boaters.
  • Review the latest River Conditions.
  • Check our What to Bring page for practical river-day preparation.
  • Read the FAQs if you are planning your first visit.

The North Toe is a natural river, so the best plan is to use current information rather than assume conditions will match a previous trip or a particular date on the calendar.
