The Lower Klamath provides an ideal multi day whitewater rafting experience for families, first timers, not to mention scouts looking to get their whitewater merit badges. One of the first two rivers in California to receive the Federal “Wild & Scenic” designation, the Lower Klamath River is the heart of the 2nd largest river system in California and one of the last rivers in California left running free and undammed for an extended stretch (180 miles).
The Lower Klamath River meanders through the spectacular scenic forest of the northwest corner in California. From Southern Oregon to the “Lost Coast” of California, the Klamath is treasured for its scenic beauty, diverse wildlife and recreational opportunities. Bald eagles, river otters, turtles and other wildlife are plentiful. The fishing is unbelievable and the terrain breath-taking. Not to mention it is the home to legendary stories of Bigfoot and other cryptids. Making it an ideal setting for families, kids, fisherman, or anyone looking for a multi day white water rafting trip in the wilderness.

Our guide Sara was so impressive. She was engaging and so encouraging to the 5 teens we had on the raft. She made the trip really fun and entertaining for all. The rapids were also fantastic at this time of the year.Posted on Google Renee BannonMay 24, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a blast with MJ last Tuesday. Jumped out on one of the rapids and then was bumped out, but totally worth it and the soreness the next few days was all worth it! What an awesome day!! Thank you.Posted on Google Ready HospitalityApril 21, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did a Bachelor Party and had a blast! We were one of the few groups on the river due to the poor weather, but it just made it that much more enjoyable. We had Johnny and Walker as guides and they had such electric personalities, I don't think we could have had a better time.Posted on Google Luis GuzmánApril 9, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with this rafting company! The ride itself was incredibly fun, and the scenery along the river was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. We did the full-day South Fork American River trip, and the rapids were exciting without ever feeling dangerous, which made the experience perfect for both thrill and comfort. A big highlight of the trip was our guide, Wyatt. He did an excellent job explaining everything we needed to know in great detail and made sure we felt safe and prepared the entire time. He was also very patient and accommodating, always willing to consider our requests as long as they were reasonable. That really made the experience feel more personal and enjoyable. The lunch provided was also delicious, which was a great bonus after spending time on the river. Overall, I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, scenic, and well-organized adventure.
