Rafting-Tour

Welcome to the breathtaking paradise of Lake Tahoe, where pristine natural beauty meets exhilarating outdoor adventures. The upcoming summer rafting season promises to be an unforgettable experience for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. With high river flows fueled by record-breaking snowfall during the winter, this is the perfect time to start planning a white water rafting trip during your summer stay in Tahoe!

White Water Rafting in Truckee and Tahoe City:

Truckee and Tahoe City both offer exceptional opportunities for white water rafting enthusiasts. These charming towns serve as ideal bases for embarking on your rafting adventures.

In Truckee, you’ll find a variety of reputable raft guiding businesses ready to take you on an exhilarating journey down the Truckee River. Whether you’re looking for heart-pounding Class III rapids, or a more leisurely trip suitable for families and beginners, there’s something for everyone! Expert guides will ensure your safety as they navigate you through exciting sections of the Truckee River as it winds its way between Truckee and Reno.

Tahoe City, right on the edge of Lake Tahoe, offers a more leisurely and slower paced experience as you casually float down the uppermost sections of the Truckee River. This section is fed right out of Lake Tahoe, and the flows are controlled to an easy and more relaxing speed. This is an extremely popular option for families who want to pack a lunch for the day and enjoy the sunshine as they float beneath the pines.
