Stand Up Paddle Boarding
SUP Maupin
Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) on rivers is gaining popularity around the globe, and Maupin is the perfect setting for beginners and experts alike. What was once seen as a fringe discipline of SUP, white water paddling is quickly becoming a sought-after adventure. SUPing on a river is similar to surfing on the ocean or snowboarding down a mountain. The lower Deschutes offers water for all levels, with class I – II rapids for beginners and adventure-seekers. Go on your own or book a trip with an outfitter such as River Drifters and experience one of the most memorable outdoor adventure trips of a lifetime.
