River rafting is a great way to be close to nature as you float past open meadows and timbered
slopes. You'll feel your adrenalin rise as you paddle through pools, riffles and rapids. You'll
laugh, you'll scream -- and you will get wet! So, bring a change of clothes for your return
trip.
Rafting is a fun adventure for singles, families and groups. When you are vacationing in Lake
Tahoe, you are nearby excellent and exciting rafting on the Truckee River, the East Fork of the
Carson River and the South Fork of the American River.
Most rafting companies employ experienced and professional guides and all necessary equipment
for trips that vary from half-day to multi-day. Many companies offer youth, group and midweek
discounts, so be sure and ask. The rafting season runs from April through September.
What to wear? T-shirt, shorts, swimsuit, tennis shoes or river sandals, hat or visor, sun glasses, sunscreen and a fearless attitude.
