1 DAY FULL RIVER | SOUTH FORK AMERICAN RIVER RAFTING

We’ll tackle all 21 miles of fun and challenging rapids like Troublemaker, Maya, Satan’s Cesspool, Hospital Bar and Recovery Room. At the end of the day back at camp you may take a shower, buy a souvenir t-shirt and say farewell to the new friends you’ve made.

Get ready for a great day on the river! At 8:00a.m. we gather for orientation and safety information before heading for the river where you will receive your paddle and your life jacket. We launch our boats, practice paddling skills with our guides, and head for great rapids such as Meatgrinder, Race Horse Bend, Triple Threat, and Troublemaker.

Mid river, back at the orginal camp meeting location a big barbecue lunch awaits.

After lunch we continue on and tackle even more Class III whitewater rapids named Satan’s Cesspool, Bouncing Rock, Hospital Bar and more. Finishing up at Folsom Reservoir we shuttle you back to camp usually finishing up around 4 to 5:00 PM. You will head home with fond farewells relaxed and full of memories from a great river trip experience.
