Your adventure begins at Camp Lotus at 9 AM (or 10 AM for the Lower Gorge option). After meeting your guides, you’ll be fitted with rafting gear and receive a safety and paddling orientation before heading out on the river.
Most guests start by rafting the South Fork American River, a fun and exciting stretch that’s perfect for warming up. After the trip, return to camp to relax with a hot shower, swim, play games, or unwind by the river before enjoying a gourmet three-course dinner.
Wake up to fresh coffee and a continental breakfast prepared by your guides. Then hop in the shuttle to continue your adventure—many guests choose the thrilling North Fork American River for a more challenging second day.
After your second day on the water, the trip concludes back at Camp Lotus. You’ll leave with great memories from two days of rafting and time spent enjoying the river and campground.

Rafted the Middle Fork of the American River and had a great time with the Wet Rafting Company. All the guides and the owner Chad were easy to work with. The guides were very knowledgeable and skilled, able to provide a fun exciting day trip to a bunch of novice rafters who will be back for more.Posted on Google b8thrwrJune 1, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. *Guide school review* Want an amazing week!!
