Carson River: Class II
This is a full-day, Class II whitewater rafting trip that is best in the spring. Your rafting trip will begin high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, as constant gradient draws the raft down through sweeping turns and rippling rapids for 21 miles of wilderness solitude. This trip is perfect for families and groups. The largest whitewater rapid, Sidewinder, is fun exciting for first timer boaters. The highlight of this river trip is a beautiful natural hot spring on the bank of the Carson River. Wish to stay longer at the wilderness hot springs? Check out our two day hot springs camping trip!
