Menominee River Whitewater Rafting – Wild Ride

The Wild Ride is not for the faint of heart!

This adventure is catered towards those with some rafting experience who are looking to get the most out of our class IV rapids in Pier’s Gorge!

The Wildman Wild Ride is our most intense whitewater experience. You’ll tackle the same legendary Menominee River and Piers Gorge rapids, but in a much smaller raft—just 2 to 4 guests plus your guide. That means more bounce, more splash, and a much higher chance of getting tossed into the action.

When booking the Wild Ride, you’re booking the entire raft for your group. This means you have space for up to 4 people per raft. If you have a group larger than that, you can book several rafts! If you have a group over 8, please call us and we can help set up your trip over the phone!

This is not the trip we recommend for beginners or those nervous about swimming. Compared to our standard 8-person rafts, these smaller crafts are easier to flip and swimmers are not uncommon—making this trip a full-on adrenaline surge through the largest whitewater that’s commercially rafted in the Midwest.

If you’re up for a challenge and want to feel every surge of the river firsthand, this is the trip for you.

If you want a private raft experience but prefer a less extreme ride, you can still book a standard Menominee Rafting Trip and request the private raft option—up to 8 people in your own raft, just your crew and your guide.

Here is what to expect:

• Private raft —just you, your crew, and your guide
• Our most extreme rafting option
• Not ideal for first-timers or guests uncomfortable in the water
