Stein River

Whitewater rafting is at its best with an America Outdoors outfitter on the Stein River! 

The Stein River is a challenging whitewater rafting adventure, ideal for advanced whitewater paddlers.

Plunging through a beautiful wilderness canyon, the Stein is the steepest river that is commercially rafted in Canada (145 feet per mile drop).

The Stein kicks off with a series of extreme class four and five drops. The river bed is chock-a-block with boulders, and crews will quickly learn to high-side and use the boulders effectively in navigating the river. At the Class 5 rapid named Touching the Void, the crews will portage the rafts at most water levels.

Below the Void, the Stein is mostly Class 4+ whitewater, but because the river is so steep it has to be considered grade 5. Flipping or wrapping a boat could result in a long swim.

The amazing thing about the Stein: no calm sections! After at least 30 Class 4 and 5 rapids, the Stein drops right into the Fraser River.

The Stein is the most unique rafting trip in British Columbia, Canada and the Pacific Northwest
