Amazing! What an adventurous afternoon. You gotta be able to swim in case you fall in the river. I did fall but was wearing a life jacket and quickly came to the surface where I was thrown a rope to pull myself to safety. So much fun overall.

Everything was fine until we got to a class 4 rapid that we had the option to skip. We were told that the worst that could happen was that we would tip over. Beyond how unpleasant it was to keep getting pushed downward by a really strong current (we felt like we were going to drown), the current then started pushing us against rocks. 3 people sustained notable injuries. I fractured my tailbone and it will ruin my summer. The other two sustained forehead and knee injuries, respectively. Had I been explicitly warned that there was a risk of injury, I would skipped this portion. I am certain that other people have had worse injuries than this, given the odds of 3 people getting hurt in 1 ride.

Spent the day rafting here. Great staff provided reservation details with driving instructions to find the camp. Professional guides were bilingual, making the trip exiting, fun safe. Quality equipment provided and the base camp is well maintained.

My family and I went went on a rafting excursion and my father ended up in the hospital in a life threatening situation. At one of the rapids my father fell in the water and got squished between a rock and our raft. We pulled him up and realized that something was extremely wrong. We stopped at a little sandbar and we realized the seriousness of the situation. There were no emergency protocol to get my father at the hospital who had a lot of difficulty breathing. It took very long and could have been fatal for my father... ended up he had cracked ribs, a punctured lung, ecchymoses on his heart. To make a long story short, my father always followed the instructions given and he ended up in a terrible situation. It took much longer to get my father at the hospital since there was no protocol in place. I (his daughter) literally had to run everywhere to get things moving to get my father at the hospital.
I STRONGLY recommend you think twice before doing the rafting excursion there as it was a horrifying experience for my family and I.

I have rafted many times around the world and no rafting company was as concerned about safety as Propulsion. They impressed our group of 10. The safety briefing on land was typical. But, once in the water, we all had to get out of the boat into the water and get pulled back in, as a practice. It allowed the guide to judge how comfortable we were in the water, and it allowed our fellow mates to practice hauling us back into the boat. Through the rough rapid sections, they had guides and safety personal available via kayak and on land with rope. Excellent and reassuring to see such protocols in place. We had a fantastic day on the river! A few notes: the lunch is wimpy. Ours was not what an american would call a BBQ lunch. It was pasta salad, watermelon, mixed nuts, water, and a fruit bread. It was fine, but not very hearty or filling. Two descents means you run the river twice. You start right at their headquarters and raft the river. At the end, a bus bring you back to HQ, where you have lunch. Then you raft the same route again with the same guide, and then bus back to HQ again. During the rafting experience, you can get out and "skip" the rough section, for those who aren't comfortable going through the biggest rapids. Some in our group did this. It's also important to note that there is a section where everyone must walk. The guides portage the boat and the paddlers walk on a trail through the woods. Consider that when deciding on footwear. Some in our group wishes they wore old sneakers, rather than thin-soled water shoes, due to the walk. You are not in the boat the whole time. These are rough rapids. Be sure all shoes are on tight and glasses are attached. Many people lost their shoes if their boat flipped. The water is very powerful, but super fun!

Beautiful setting, beautiful river and the facilities were well laid out and immaculate.
Nick greeted us as we drove in and showed us where to park and enjoy ourselves as
we waited for the prior group of rafters to return. Lots of easy chairs to relax in, or you cab play volleyball, horseshoes or toss the football while you wait. We had a single afternoon run on the Rouge, which took about 21/2 hours. Lots of fast water and good rapids. Wet suits were recommended (and included in price)due to the water and air temp. Good safety meetings prior, very professional. Great guide, she was wonderful for both more adventurous rafters and those who were less ambitious. The family had an incredible time and want to return again with friends. The entire staff was friendly, laid back and made the experience very enjoyable. We will be back.

Our experience with Propulsion Rafting was amazing. The staff was very professional and friendly. They were very safety oriented and had us do safety practices in the calm section before we got started. The river was a blast and the rapids were exciting. The guide let us swim at the calm parts. We had a delicious light and healthy lunch between the 1st and 2nd run. During very big rapid - some of us spilled out of the boat - within a couple seconds the entire guide team was in safety and rescue mode! All the teenage girls rated this as the funnest part of the entire day! After the second run we had a very nice bbq dinner. As a group we all enjoyed the video and photos together with funny jokes and narration by the owner, Nicholas -whom is very personable and customer oriented. The bathroom/shower facility was clean and comfortable. I take my 3 daughters rafting a couple times each summer and this was by far the best experience we have ever had. We chose the trip that was a true taste of white water rafting - if this is not your cup of tea - I suggest you chose the calmer waters - of the float trip.

My surprise for our 10th wedding anniversary was a rafting day on Rouge River. My husband freaked out when he realized where we're going, but it turned out to be a great day. We had lots of fun, we laughed all day. The guides were really good, and they did their best to make sure we enjoyed our day. It was very safe, the crash course on safety was very useful. We had a light lunch on the river banks and dinner at the rafting lodge. We had a blast. For sure, this is something I would like to do again.
