Are you ready for a wet and wild adventure your family won’t forget? Then try river rafting with kids on the American River! American River rafting with kids is a great, outdoorsy experience and the South Fork of this Northern California river is the perfect place to do it!

想象自己在一条河木筏,用花岗岩根性树种和充满活力的蓝色天空。有人让出兴奋的尖叫声,你的女孩,调皮的眼睛。

Her arms shove a paddle down into the whitewater as a wave crashes, filling the raft with a rush of water. She bounces a bit, but believes her new found paddling skills, along with sheer teeth-clenching determination, are keeping your entire family inside that boat. You paddle alongside her, soggy yet confident in your guide’s expert skills.

当然,也有你 - 的一部分你内心的恐慌父– which looks ahead to the next set of rapids and begins to worry, but you shake it off when a group of blind children in the raft in front of you splash through the rapids without issue. Worry is replaced by exhilaration, scream-inducing fun, and overwhelming pride as your daughter gives you a look that clearly says, “I’ve got this.”

为什么去河漂流随着孩子们对美国河?

这也难怪美国河的南叉is one of our nation’s most popular rafting destinations. The river, located in Northern California’s Gold Country, has a guaranteed water flow from Memorial Day through Labor Day and is within a day’s drive of around 40 million people.

Location and popularity also result in this being one of the least expensive river rafting trips around, ideal for families who want to experience white water on a limited budget. Rest assured, though bustling Sacramento is just an hour away, the atmosphere on the water is most definitely wild and rural. This is the river where California’s gold rush began and while the crowds of the 1850s are long gone, the hunger for adventure still lingers.
