California River Rafting - Water Level & Trip Update:
Thanks to a wet and snowy April & May, we went from just around normal to about 140 percent of normal, so we are getting a fantastic rafting season.
South Fork American River is getting great flows, but now no longer too high for some rafters. Rafting trips will not be available again on Wednesdays despite the better winter water, but they kept the designation as "below normal" still due to two dry years preceding this.
Middle Fork American River Class 4 rafting trips will be flowing ALL SUMMER well into September. Check out this great wilderness canyon. 2 days trips especially recommended. Great get away from it for bachelor parties and groups who like camping privacy.
North Fork Yuba River - last trip scheduled on Tues July 6th, unless heat wave brings snow melt up.
North Fork American River: Now done for the season.
Truckee River rafting trips will be available till the end of of September. BOOK WELL AHEAD! Lake Tahoe is a popular place. Do not be disappointed. .
