River Sports In July and August, the river is usually "warm" enough to enjoy. (We say "warm" because it's still quite cold!) Wading, tubing, rafting, and swimming are all enjoyable activities on the Naches River. Because of the dangerous nature of river play, we cannot explicitly recommend or endorse the safety of any activity in the river. Play at your own risk! If you do play in the river, here are some good things to know: --River rocks are slippery, so it's a good idea to wear tennis shoes or sturdy sandals that will stay securely on your feet and give you some traction and cushioning. --A sturdy walking stick can also be helpful if wading in the river. --The current can pull things off, including loose clothing and jewelry! Leave your valuables somewhere safe and use common sense when it comes to clothing. --Currents are deceptively strong! Fast flowing water up to your knees may be enough to knock you over. Don't try to wade out into deep water. Sometimes water that looks calm is flowing faster than "rapids". --Don't drink or swallow river water - it may contain the parasite giardia, or other contaminants. --Injuries you're most likely to sustain in the river are sprained ankles and bruised shins and knees. Watch out for hidden, loose, or slippery rocks. --Stay away from submerged logs and underbrush close to the river's edge. These areas can be dangerous because you could get trapped or entangled, knocked off your raft, or held underwater by the current. --You can tube or float from the cabin to the bridge, where there are some nice swimming pools in the late summer when the water is low. From the bridge, it's an easy walk up the road back to the cabin. --Remember that the shoreline you're floating by is private property. Be respectful. Don't move rocks to make a wading pool on someone else's private beach. --And of course, always let someone know where you're going, what you plan to do, and when you expect to be back! |
