Cần Quan Tâm
The Middle Fork of the American River is the one of the best summertime Class IV whitewater rafting trip in California. This trip meets at 8:15 AM in Auburn. A 45 minute van ride dead ends at Oxbow Reservoir where gear is distributed and the stoke begins. H2O hits your face early with Good Morning rapid. A warmup is immediately needed as the infamous Tunnel Chute rapid is just over a mile downstream. After five miles of good class 3/4 whitewater, the river settles down and provides opportunities for rock jumping, surfing, and ‘riding the bull’ as we float through the canyon towards a riverside lunch stop. Following lunch the river complies with our need to digest and remains calm for a few more miles until arriving at Chunder Pond. From here the river changes drastically with rapids such as Chunder Falls, Parallel Parking, and Ski Jump bringing your adrenaline to a high again. A mandatory walk around Ruck-A-Chucky falls allows for a chance to watch your guides run their raft down a commercial class 6 waterfall. Your trip concludes at the old Greenwood Bridge site. Guests are returned to their vehicles around 4:00 PM.

Wonderful Experience

5.00Our family recently experienced the Middle Fork whitewater rafting trip. It exceeded every expectation, and it was an unforgettable adventure. Our guide, Whalen, was absolutely outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the river and the surrounding area, had a great sense of humor, and inspired confidence with his technical rafting skills. His ability to balance safety, fun, and education made the experience enjoyable for everyone. The rapids were exciting, the scenery was breathtaking, and the entire operation was first-class. The gear was top-notch, well-maintained, and comfortable, and the lunch provided was actually delicious. I highly recommend H20 Adventures and our exceptional guide, Whalen. It was one of the best family adventures we've had. We'll definitely be back!

5.00I float a lot of rivers - trust me this is the company you want. Every employee at this company will go out of their way to ensure you have a good time. They have great service excellence. They are friendly and helpful to private boaters - something that is important for river etiquette. They don’t make you get on the floor through tunnel chute like most other companies - you will look good in the pictures (and have more fun) this way. They have nice gear - boats, paddles, PFD’s and helmets are all excellent. The guides have good jokes. Trip leader Devin likes it when people bring paper towels on the trip.

5.00My husband and I did this together with my 13 year old daughter. Deven explained very well before we went out to the water what we had to do. My daughter and I were a bit nervous, but he always explained with great detail and encouraged us. Our group consisted of some older ladies and he also made them feel confident and we did very well. None of us fell out. Ha ha! Only thing I would add, would be some nice hot black coffee during lunch!! Lunch was delicious, we built our own wraps. It wasn’t to heavy. It was perfect to give us energy to finish off the day. Over all this was such a great experience, my daughter still talks about it. And loves to encourage others to try it. She says deven brought out the adventurous side of her. And she would gladly do it again. But as long as we have the same guide. He made us feel safe, and confident. Thank you

5.00We had such a fantastic day rafting with Raft H2O on the Middle Fork American River. Our guide, Connor, was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe the entire trip. He clearly knows the river well and gave us great tips to make the ride fun and exciting, while always keeping safety first. A special shoutout to Blake, whose jokes and commentary made the drive to and from the river just as enjoyable as the rafting itself — we were laughing the whole way! The scenery was stunning, the rapids were thrilling, and the entire experience felt seamless and well organized. Highly recommend Raft H2O and their awesome team We’ll definitely be coming back!

5.00We had an amazing time river rafting on the Middle Fork in California on September 6, 2025! Our guide, Pierce, was fantastic—he made sure everyone felt safe and confident the whole trip. Most of our group had little to no experience rafting, but thanks to his clear instructions and steady guidance, we handled the Class III and IV rapids without anyone getting tossed out of the boat. What made the trip even better was Pierce’s knowledge of the area. He pointed out local wildlife and plant species along the way, and honestly it felt like having a National Geographic expert on board. He really brought the river to life, sharing cool facts and making us appreciate the beauty of the canyon just as much as the thrill of the rapids. All of the other guides with H2O Adventures were also amazing. They worked together as a team to make sure no boat was ever left behind, which showed how much they care about safety and group experience. You can tell the company has a great system in place that makes everything run smoothly. Pierce is truly an expert at what he does, and the entire H2O Adventures crew made this rafting trip both exciting and unforgettable. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for the perfect mix of adventure, safety, and appreciation of nature!
Always Awesome!

5.00We had an amazing time white water rafting this week! Our guides Marina and Devin were extremely experienced and knowledgeable but also knew how to have a good time. Tunnel Chute was a bit hairy as we flipped, but it was awesome! Generally we don’t like to do excursions more than once but I would definitely do this tour again in the future!
Awesome rafting trip!

5.00Awesome trip! We have rafted the Middle Fork multiple times, but this was our first trip with H2O Adventures. The River is a lot of fun to raft - adventurous and adrenaline pumping parts like Tunnel Chute, Kanaka Falls, and Chundra Rapids. But there are also calm spots to relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery and the peaceful quiet of the River. The guides were awesome - engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoying their jobs! The trip was very well organized; lunch was excellent. And most importantly, we stayed in the raft😂!! Highly recommend H2O Adventures.
