Whitewater Rafting
You get everything you want in California whitewater rafting with three forks of the American River to choose from, ranging from mild to wild! See for yourself why we have the most popular rafting trips in the state.
Groups at Mother Lode
The banks of the American River are the perfect place for a retreat or day of team building. We work with corporate teams, school and youth groups and sports teams. Anyone looking for a memorable experience in the outdoors.
Adventure Park & Zipline
Looking for some off water activities? Then consider spending a couple of hours on our ropes course and zipline. Participants will be flying down wires, climbing up trees, leaping for trapeze bars, and balancing on beams all while being high off the ground.
