Husum Falls Rapid
White Salmon River
About 4.5 miles from BZ corner is 8 to 10 foot Husum Falls. Our
rafts are put ashore on the left bank, where you can watch the guides
rope the rafts around the falls. The falls are fun to look at and
an optional "falls run" allows you to experience it up close. The option to run the falls is your choice and also dependant on river conditions and other factors. Your river guide will provide information you need on the day of your trip. Otherwise,
our rafts are put ashore and roped around. This is one of the few areas of the White
Salmon River that is viewable from highway 141.

The descent
Boat goes almost vertical ...

Only Red Helmets, Yes, you will get wet.
Not everyone goes over the falls, so we also "portage" and rope the rafts around the falls.
