This full-day 15-mile whitewater rafting trip on the American River’s South Fork Lower Gorge includes a trained guide, all equipment, hot breakfast and gourmet lunch, and is suitable for nearly every age.  From thrilling rapids to beautiful scenery, historic spots and great camping – they can all be found when rafting the American River.

As you float and paddle through on one of the most historic and gorgeous stretches of river in the western United States, your highly experienced guide will tell the story of the area’s human history, wildlife and exploration during the Gold Rush era, and the river’s modern role in California water and power delivery systems.

Included is one night “Glamping” before the trip at the American River Resort in a riverfront platform cabin tent.  Cabin tents, ready for you to move in, are sturdy, watertight canvas tents sitting on raised platforms with deck railings and chairs.  Inside are comfortable cots for your own sleeping bag or pad and blankets.

You will wake up in the morning to a hot breakfast, and a gourmet deli-style build your own wrap for lunch served riverside.

You’ll meet at 10am for a Class II-III trip with return at 5pm.
