Shout Out to California Whitewater Rafting

Thanks for the HOLLA Tom Stienstra! There’s a fun, informative article on California whitewater rafting found in the online version of the San Francisco Chronicle – the SFGate.com. As Stienstra mentions, for the highest flows – go now!

The Merced River near Yosemite National Park – a free flowing river – may have just another week or so left in the commercial boating season. (Folks in kayaks or inflatable kayaks could probably eek out another couple of weeks.) Don’t let the opportunity pass you by – it’s a super fun and accessible river with bouncy, splashy rapids.

The Tuolumne River (also very near to Yosemite National Park) will run all summer and into September.

The South Fork of the American River – or as we call it – "Everyone’s Favorite River!" – and the Middle Fork American River also have great flows into September.

All 1-day South Fork of the American rafting trips booked online are discounted.
