Tunnel Chute Rafting Up Close and Personal

If you have never rafted through the Tunnel Chute rapid on the Middle Fork American River before, this video will give you a very good idea of what it’s like to ride down this iconic Class 4 drop.

Cherry Creek - Upper Tuolumne

Ready, Set, Cherry Creek!

After taking its sweet time, the 2023 Cherry Creek rafting season is finally here! Higher river flows caused by the abundant snowpack kept rafters away from this Class 5 run until early August, but the season will still end on Labor Day, so plan your trip ASAP!

We love a good splash fight! Whether you’re trying to cool off your friends or start a water fight, we’re here for it. The calm stretches of river between rapids on the South Fork American make for the perfect battlefield.

Summer fun on the Merced River.

Welcoming Summer on the Merced

Our Merced River rafters were in for a real treat on this last weekend of spring. Lots of water in the river and bluebird skies with sunshine abound. Thanks to the slow melting snow in the Sierras, we’ll be able to raft on our favorite free-flowing rivers like the Merced well into the summer this year!

All that melting snow is doing wonders for the North Fork of the Stanislaus this season. Check out this clean line as an All-Outdoors guide smoothly drops into The Claw (Class IV).

Earth Day Rafting on the South Fork American

What a great way to celebrate Mother Earth! Our rafters this past weekend made awesome memories and captured these fun clips. Can you tell which famous South Fork rapids these are with all this extra water flowing through them?

Soaking it in on the South Fork American

These rafters had a blast crashing through the waves on the South Fork American last weekend. It was spring rafting at its best – no crowds, green hills dotted with poppies, and lots of exciting whitewater!

The Countdown to Rafting is ON

Dust off that river gear, the wait is almost over! We are so excited about being able to raft all 10 of our California rivers this season – kicking it off with the South Fork American this weekend! Our staff has been preparing all winter and we can’t wait to get you out on the water.
