Celebrate the thrill of spring on the river every March as the whitewater season kicks into gear at the Upper Wind Whitewater Festival! Held on the upper section of the Wind River near Carson, Washington, the festival brings together kayakers, rafters, and river enthusiasts for a day of fast-flowing Class IV+ rapids, friendly competition, and community fun.
The festival features organized races for rafts and kayaks and plenty of opportunities for boating. Whether you’re racing, volunteering on safety or timing, or cheering from the shore, the Upper Wind Whitewater Festival delivers exhilarating river action and a chance to connect with friends—both new and old—celebrating the beauty and excitement of the Wind River and Columbia River Gorge.
