Merced River Whitewater RaftingTumbling down from the peaks of Yosemite National Park, the Merced River is without a doubt one of the most exhilarating rafting tripsWWE has to offer. Located a short 3.5 hour drive from the San Francisco Bay area and just 6 hours from Southern California.

The Merced River is a brilliant one-day whitewater rafting adventure. The main entrance to Yosemite is only 40 minutes away from our meeting point, making it a must-see for those adventure seekers rafting the Merced. Rafting on the Merced is considered to be a once-in-a-lifetime trip that will allow you to experience Yosemite’s waterfalls at their absolute grandest. Come and spend an exciting day rafting the Merced with us, followed by a day viewing the magnificent Yosemite National Park.

North Fork American River

Springtime Class IV California River Rafting Trip

Available during the early spring, typically April and May. Starting as a mild stream, the North Fork of the American River quickly gathers momentum and enters the class IV “Chamberlin Falls Gorge,” the most difficult of all the forks of the American. Running only in the early spring with the melting snow from the Sierras, the North Fork drops through a very steep gorge between house-sized boulders and over waterfalls that reach eight feet in height.

Crystal clear water and rapids that seem endless are the trademark of this technical, challenging river. This is one of the most beautiful rivers in the Sierras and should be attempted only by those with previous rafting experience and who are in good physical condition. Wet suits are a must for this trip and are included when you raft with us. We offer half-day, 1-day, and 2-day whitewater rafting trips on the North Fork of the American River.
