We take advantage of special water releases conducted at this time of year and making the most of the opportunity, we run the river twice in one day. Hence the name: Double Runs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After running the four miles of <a href=\"#\">Class II, III, and IV+ rapids<\/a> in the morning, we refuel with a well deserved and delicious riverside lunch. In the afternoon we go back up to the top and do it all over again! Many of our guests comment how much fun it is to do a trip this way, because the first time goes by so fast you can barely remember what the rapids looked like. The second run gives you a chance to appreciate the scenery a bit more (and possibly gives you the opportunity to make up for that one rapid your crew didn\u2019t quite get right the first time down).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t rafted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aorafting.com\/river\/goodwin\/welcome.htm\">Goodwin Canyon<\/a> before, read our blog post for a first-hand account of what the river is like: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aorafting.com\/blog\/my-goodness-goodwin\/\">My Goodness, Goodwin<\/a>&#8230; Our goal is to provide an amazing experience on this unique river, but part of that is making sure you know what you are getting into. We invite you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aorafting.com\/contact\/welcome.htm\">contact us<\/a> prior to booking your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3OyMuwGL930?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2026-season-october-17-18-amp-october-24-25\">2026 Season: October 17-18 &amp; October 24-25<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Goodwin Canyon\u2019s seasonal weekend release is specifically timed to help thousands of migrating Chinook Salmon find their way to their spawning grounds. The fish need cooler water temperatures experienced in the fall. We might even see a few of these large fish on their way upstream while we are on our way downstream, making this an even more unique and special river experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are wondering what it is like to raft in late fall, we wrote about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aorafting.com\/blog\/what-makes-california-rafting-in-the-fall-special\/\">What Makes California Rafting in the Fall Special<\/a> in an earlier post. Simply put, fall rafting is beautiful. The soft lighting coupled with the colors of changing leaves make October one of the prettiest months of the year for rafting. Even in drought years, we can offer whitewater rafting trips in California thanks to scheduled water releases from upstream reservoirs.
