white water rafting

Turbulent river sport

White water rafting is the recreational activity of navigating inflatable rafts through turbulent river rapids.

Participants paddle through stretches of fast-moving water, often graded by difficulty from Class I (gentle) to Class VI (extremely dangerous).

We went white water rafting in Colorado last summer.

Also spelled whitewater rafting.
