Rafting Everyday! 

Many rivers are running dry this summer in California and the west. It looks like California is in “drought mode” for summer 2021. But that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! Rafting trips are available 7 days/week with Raft California & Raft Oregon! We offer trips on so many rivers that are dam controlled – we will have guaranteed flows all summer long, 7 days/week! 

Get away from the crowds

Many of our trips are located in remote areas, these wilderness trips provide our guides & guests a chance to really “get away from it all”. Unplug & unwind on a multi-day rafting & camping trip. We take care of the planning, the meals & the logistics. You just have to show up with your personal items and we provide dry bags to carry everything down the river. 

Hand-picked Guide Favorites!

American River Rafting Trips:

The popular American River, conveniently located between Sacramento & Lake Tahoe will have limited availability this summer due to the drought. The South Fork & Middle Fork American Rivers are dam controlled rivers. The white water rafting outfitters/community have specific agreements with the agencies controlling those dams – these allow our commercial trips to continue to run in drought conditions.

Here is a look at what days our American River Trips will be running:

Truckee River Rafting Trips:

The Truckee River is the closest rafting option to Lake Tahoe. This trip is also available everyday this summer. Due to the popularity of the area this trip usually sells out 2-3 weeks in advance. Rafts can accommodate 5-6 guests, plus a guide.
