This 50-mile, multi-day whitewater rafting trip explores the Lower Deschutes River in central Oregon.

“These trips are an excellent and fun way for incoming freshmen to meet other students, learn about EOU and the surrounding area, make new friends and start building a community,” said Michael Hatch, Outdoor Program coordinator. “East Tracks also offer fantastic opportunities for personal growth and development, and will help ease the transition into college life.”
