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.
Mclnturff says,“In the last
three to four years rafting has
become popular. I figured I had
a good location for raft rentals.
Portland. Now they don’t have
to.”
Not only are the rafts
available at the point of
departure but Mclnturff also
provides a raft pick-up service
at Maupin. A shuttle service is
available for people who want
to have their car in Maupin
Quite a few people rent rafts in after their raft journey.
The Rainbow Rafting
business is a summertime
enterprise only. 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. Mclnturff feels
these prices provide “pretty
cheap entertainment.”
The shuttle service, which
involves having someone drive
the rafter’s car to Maupin, is
offered at a cost of $40. 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.
A person may reserve a raft
with fifty percent of the fee as a
down, payment. Rainbow
Rafter’s information number is
553-1663.
