Favorite Adventures/Activities

The best river rafting company (the one with orange paddles!). Easy to park and book, best rafting company for leisurely, self-guided rafting down the truckee river. Book your trip, pack a lunch and enjoy a 2-3 hour float down the beautiful truckee river. Plenty of great places to stop along the float and a bathroom along the way.
