Skagit River Bald Eagle
Adventures
 The
Bald Eagle Raft Adventure is offered between December and the
first week in March when the largest concentration of wintering Bald Eagles
found anywhere within the lower 48 states visit the Skagit River. You can
expect to see 20 to 200 or more eagles in their natural habitat.
The Bald Eagles migrate south from Canada and Alaska to find
good food and clean water. The Skagit River, bordered by maple and cottonwood
trees large enough to support the huge birds, provides the environment to suit
their tastes. Spawned out Salmon line the shore of the river and the giant
eagles feed all winter on the migratory fish.
Now you can enjoy the thrill of seeing these
magnificent birds while you float quietly down the Skagit River. As your
naturalist, guide takes you on your journey down the river, marvel at the
gorgeous scenery and the splendor of Mt. Baker in the background. We’ve
have offered this trip since 1974 and it remains a popular yearly event!
 This
is a perfect occasion to observe and photograph these majestic birds in their
natural surroundings. The sheer power and magnitude of the bald eagles is truly
awesome. Join us!!!
Our personable guides are very knowledgeable about this area
and the river. Many of them have been guiding this trip for 10 years or
more and they fully enjoy sharing this wonder with visitors. Very adept at
spotting plant and wildlife your guide will relate the rich history and ecology
of the Skagit. This 8 mile float covers the area where the most of the Bald
Eagles can be viewed, the Wild and Scenic Section of the Skagit River.
The trip takes about 4 hours and is suitable for all ages as
there is no white water. Bring your cameras for the many photo
opportunities.
Meet in Concrete, Washington. The U.S. Forest Service
limits commercial rafting hours on the river in order to provide sufficient time
for eagles to feed without interference. Prior to embarking on your safe
inflatable raft our guides will brief you with our safety talk about this trip.
We provide shuttle service,
life jackets and extra rain ponchos when necessary. Please see information
in
What To Wear
section for proper clothing for the weather conditions on this outing.
