****See Season notes below
NOTE: **** SEASON VARIES FROM YEAR TO YEAR. The season given is the possible availibility. This is dependent largely on the snow pack and rain fall received during the winter. Season given is for an average or above average snow pack where weather is consistant. Warm or dry spells can change this very quickly. We will always try and inform you if there are anticipated problems with a scheduled trip, but it is often out of our control.
Some rivers are more reliable than others due to negotiated flow regimes. The South and Middle Forks of the American River are the most reliable in California.
