No obstacle should be big enough to prevent you from visiting River Valley. River Valley is just great! The rafting followed by a night in the lodge with the fire and the best dinner...but it is the staff working there that make it even better.

I would Absolutely recommend River Valley! I must admit that even though I loved the Grade 5 section of river, the scenic section is to die for!! It was amazingly beautiful and relaxing! Even the adventure seekers need a break and that scenic section was the "calm".

I have to say it was the most fantastic time I had with you, and I still get emotional when I think about it. For me, it was a fulfillment of a childhood dream to be able to ride over country like that, with the added bonus of great company.

Corporate Retreats
Tired of the standard corporate routine? Another hotel, another city, another conference room?

Why not try something different. A Corporate Adventure based from River Valley Lodge.

Time Out
Being able to spend time relaxing. So little time, so much to do.

If this is you, then Time Out at River Valley Lodge could be what you are looking for.
