Top 5 Rivers for Summer Rafting 🌊☀️

1️⃣ American River (South Fork + Middle Fork): From classic Class III whitewater on the South Fork to Class IV spice of the Middle Fork, the American River has something for everyone. Perfect for first-timers, families and groups.

2️⃣ Truckee River: Fun, scenic and close to Lake Tahoe, the Truckee offers perfect relaxing sections and playful whitewater. Ideal for hot summer afternoons and soaking in classic Sierra scenery.

Rafting season is ON 🤘

The rivers are in prime condition, running beautifully and offering world-class rafting. Best of all, because many of our favorite trips (including the American River and Truckee River) are dam-controlled, you can count on fantastic, consistent water levels 7 days a week well into the late summer and autumn.

The rapids are fun, the water is flowing, and summer on the river is looking GOOD!

If rafting has been on your summer bucket list, this is your sign to make it happen.

We get a lot of questions about what’s included on an overnight rafting trip. 🌊 Not to fret. We've got a comprehensive list of what we bring vs what you will need to pack.

Mostly - we have you covered with the larger items (tent, sleeping pad, cot, camping chair) but there are some essentials you will need to bring AND, requirements are trip dependent. Each trip has a detailed list on our website and we will email you further instructions after you book.

Still have questions? Reach out! We are happy to walk through everything.
