Item Description

Get the gang together for some summer fun with a 4-person one-day rafting trip on the American River in Coloma, CA from Beyond Limits Adventures - lunch is included!

The Full River One Day trip is a great choice for whitewater rafters looking to get the maximum rafting experience in a one day trip. This river trip is ideal for rugged paddlers. These trips meet at 9:00AM at River park resort and cover both the upper and lower sections in one 7 hour day.

The Upper Chili Bar section is a good solid Class 3 run with over 10 major rapids. Its course will take you through the small mining town of Coloma, where James Marshall first discovered gold at Sutters Mill and changed the course of California history. Calm sections are interspersed with wonderfully fun rapids and the excitement comes to a head towards the end of this 8 mile run with a major rapid known as "Troublemaker".

Lunch is served at River Park Resort which is almost the halfway point of the trip.

After lunch we run a 4 mile section of easy water known as the "Lotus Run". "Barking Dog Rapid" is a good place to watch expert kayaks testing their wave riding skills. The famous "gorge section" of the South Fork is the grande finale to this fabulous rafting trip. In the gorge you will try surfing, rock splats and ramps, if your guide feels you still have the strength for it! Hospital Rock is a great place to "ride the bull" and a nice way to end your trip.

This river is excellent for either the veteran or adventurous novices. The flows on the South Fork American River are the most dependable in the state, with guaranteed recreational releases for the next 50 years.

Item Special Note

Your trip date must be before Labor Day, 2013.
