SACRAMENTO’S TOP ATTRACTION
Located just 15 miles east of Downtown Sacramento on the beautiful American River Parkway. You will immediately become immersed in nature on our wild and scenic Lower American River.
Our high-quality, clear water comes from the Sierra Nevada mountains outside of lovely Lake Tahoe which is just an hour and a half to the East. Our river passes on our fresh water an hour to the West into the San Francisco Bay.
Our American River Parkway attracts over 5 million visitors annually with its many recreational opportunities. Bird watching is amongst the most popular. From our rafts you can easily spot over 100 species of bird including egrets, owls, hawks, osprey, peregrine falcons and even bald eagles!
The American River is also home to the gold rush! With so many attractions and history surrounding us we hope that you can make rafting the highlight of your California vacation!
