Mclnturff opens Rainbow Rafting Rafting has recently become a sport enjoyed by many. The enjoyment of being outdoors along with the thrill of riding rapids has drawn many to the river. The popularity of rafting has prompted Bob Mclnturff to open a raft rental business located a short distance from an ideal launching, site on the Deschutes River. The river front property directly across the road from Rainbow Rafting is also owned by Mclnturff along with the nearby Rainbow Market. What used to be a run-down vacant Texaco station to the north of the Rainbow Market now houses the raft rental mart and a gasoline service station. The building has been renovated by Mclnturff.

The service station, however, will be in operation throughout the year. All equipment necessary to make a raft trip is provided in the price of the raft rental. And all equipment is kept in good condition. The per day rental fee is $33 for a 1 i-foot raft, $43 for a 12-foot raft and $53 for a 14-foot raft.

And for those who simply need air in their raft a $2 fee is charged. The raft rental service is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
