Nebraska Whitewater

Raft | Kayak | Canoe


Nebraska may not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking about whitewater rafting and kayaking, but the state offers some hidden gems for enthusiasts looking for an exciting adventure. One popular destination is the Niobrara River, known for its scenic beauty and Class I to Class III rapids. The 76-mile stretch from Valentine to the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge is a favorite among paddlers, offering a mix of calm floats and exhilarating rapids. Recommended streamflow levels for a thrilling experience on the Niobrara range from 300 to 1,000 cubic feet per second.

Another must-visit spot for whitewater enthusiasts in Nebraska is the Elkhorn River, particularly the segment between Neligh and West Point. This 48-mile stretch features Class I to Class II rapids and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. With streamflow levels between 100 to 500 cubic feet per second, paddlers can enjoy a fun and challenging experience on the Elkhorn. Remember to always check current streamflow levels, wear a life jacket, and paddle with a buddy for a safe and enjoyable adventure on Nebraska's whitewater rivers.
