From family-friendly floats to spicy rapids, Raft California is a premier gateway to the American River’s world-class whitewater. With a focus on safety, professional guiding, and high-energy fun, they offer tailored adventures across all three forks of this iconic river system.
Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned paddler, Raft California provides an immersive outdoor experience from their private riverside basecamp in Lotus, CA.
- South Fork American River: The most popular rafting destination in California. Perfect for families and groups, this Class II-III stretch offers the ideal balance of exciting rapids and relaxing scenic stretches.
- Middle Fork American River: Seek out the adrenaline on this legendary Class IV run. Home to the famous "Tunnel Chute," this trip takes you through 18 miles of rugged wilderness and deep canyon scenery.
- North Fork American River: Available during the spring snowmelt, this technical Class IV+ run is for those looking for a fast-paced, challenging adventure through pristine, emerald-green waters.
Beyond the rapids, Raft California offers a complete vacation experience with multi-day trips, riverside camping, and "glamping" tent rentals, making it easy to turn a day on the water into a full weekend getaway.
