The name says it all—Cossatot is an Indian word that means "skull crusher." One of the most challenging streams in The Natural State, the Cossatot is for experienced canoists and kayakers only.
The river forms Cossatot Falls, a rugged and rocky canyon that challenges the most experienced with its Class IV rapids. Floatable river levels are usually limited to late-fall, winter and spring.
The Cossatot is a "bring-your-own" equipment due to flow levels dependent upon rainfall. No floater services are provided.
