Why raft on only 1 river? On the South, Middle, and North Forks of the American river, you can choose the rivers you want, the number of days, and experience a river rafting adventure that you will always remember. Our most popular combo trip is our South Middle two day combo. However, whatever trip you choose, you will raft different rivers each day, spend 2 or 3 nights at our private camp area right on the river, and enjoy 5 (or 8 for 3 Day trips) meals cooked by our own dedicated camp cook, Cheryl.
Whitewater rafting on the different forks of the American River has no equal. Our different combo options give plenty of whitewater action, an awesome camping experience, and lots of time to just sit back and relax while our dedicate cook prepares all your meals. It’s a thrilling adventure that is considered safe for children ages 12+ and adults of all ages and experience levels.
Located in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills, both the South, Middle, and North Forks of the American River rafting experiences offers plenty of calm water and rest stops along the way, allowing you to take in the thriving flora and fauna of one of California’s most unique ecosystems. The rivers flow through some of the most remote canyons in the US, giving us a glimpse of the days of old.
Service and connection to our guests and to the river experience remains our passion.
