Sacramento - Whitewater Rafting

The whitewater rivers close to Sacramento are wickedly tough for the most part. The one exception is the East Fork of the Carson River, which is good for intermediate and beginning rafters and passes by bubbling hot springs. The rest of these runs are expert level, gorgeous, but sometimes so intense that you may not always have time to see more than a flash of scenery through the spray.




American River Up to Class V
 Over 4 days
Some rivers are wild and some are gentle and some are an exciting hybrid of both. The American River is a hybrid. Although never so gentle as to be a float trip, a beginning rafter won't be intimidated away. Conversely, the most experienced of experienced rafters won't be disappointed.

American River North Fork - Giant Gap Up to Class V
 Full Day
The famous Giant Gap 14-mile run of the even more famous North Fork American River is one of California's top whitewater challenges, for experts only. Cliffs tower 2,000 feet above the river. Parts of this Class V run are so rough that you might end up believing that some of those 2'000 foot cliffs are under the water.
