Summer Heat

The weather is hot and the river is still cold. That could only mean one thing, August is here. Since when did summer start going so quickly? In any case, my intention is to raft as much as I possibly can down the American River before that good old fashioned summer heat runs out. Let's go rafting!

Summer Days

It's another one of those summer days here at Whitewater Connection. Phones are ringing and the water is flowing. Come on out for one of our great South Fork, or Middle Fork trips. The American River is waiting for you! 530-622-6446! Call to book today.

Crusin down the South Fork

Guide Jordie conquered the South Fork of the American River yesterday on a South Fork Full River trip! It was quite a long day, filled with lots of excitement and even more paddling, but nonetheless, his crew and him made it all the way down the river unscathed and ready for more. With summer dwindling down, be sure to call in today to book your very own South Fork trip!

Flying High

Summer is getting hotter and that means that flows are making the South Fork of the American River just that much more exciting. Word has it that there is a small "surprise" for all of those guides who don't know about the South Fork secrets. How high can your guide fly?

Good Times and Great Memories!

What a great weekend we had! The customers were quite lively and adventurous, which us guides love to see. We couldn't have asked for better people to take down both the South Fork of the American River, as well as the Middle Fork of the American River. Their enthusiasm around the camp fire made us all wonder how they could raft all day, then proceed to dance and sing around the camp fire all night. So much energy! What good memories and we really hope to see them all again soon!

South Fork Awesomeness!

What a great day on the South Fork of the American River today! The flows were looking spectacular and our boats were looking in sync. Our crews seemed to have such rythem on their forward paddles through even the most exciting rapids. It was a great day indeed, with more to come from these excellent rafters! More to update tomorrow with the second day Chili Bar Run!

Lazy Wednesdays

No Water Wednesdays means a nice relaxing day for the American River South Fork guides. That means that there's no road trip this week. Nope, we're laying low and taking it easy. Maybe we'll work on our kickin tan lines...humm now there's a thought.

Happy 4th of July

Just wishing everone a happy 4th of July! The American River is running with great flows and I must admit, the water feels exceptionally refreshing! Every day is a great day for rafting, especially those hot summer ones, so come on out and reserve your place on the South Fork or the Middle Fork today!

Heading South for our day off.

The Whitewater Connection Staff had another day off, and what did we do? We traveled South to the Kaweah River for another adventure. It wasn't quite as exciting as the first road trip however since the flows were pretty low, but it did make for a good skill tester since low flows typically makes for a more technical run. For now though, we are back in Coloma running usual South and Middle Forks of the American River. There's no place like home, and there's nothing like that good old fashioned summer heat!
