South Fork Rafting Extravagaza

​Located in the foothills of the Sierras, the South Fork of the American is one of the most beloved day trips in the United States.The river is generally runnable year round because of dam-controlled flows and makes for great boating no matter what the season.

​In Summer, when temperatures can reach into the 100s, the cool water and fun rapids are perfect for everyone from families to college students. Weekends during the summer are extremely busy - if you can schedule a trip on a weekday, it will be a much less crowded (and probably more pleasant) experience. The winter and spring are much less crowded and a great time for intermediate kayakers to practice their skills.
