Great place to go on a hot summer afternoon. Especially like Henningsen Park in Lotus. Or, taking one of the many raft trips.

IF you ever, in this life, have a chance to go whitewater rafting down the beautiful South Fork of the American River in Coloma, CA (and don't do it), you are missing out! As a newly trained whitewater rafting guide, this river has it all: good rapids, beautiful riverside scenery and great camping! The best campground off the river I... More

We went on a half day whitewater rafting trip on a Saturday afternoon for a bachelor party with Tributary Whitewater Tours. It was a lot of fun. We were actually running a little late due to traffic on the one lane road to get to Coloma. After calling Tributary to tell them we were running late (the lady on the... More

After browsing the internet, whitewater rafting popped up as a possible alternative! After countless hours of looking for a company that fit the bill, Whitewater Connection was... More

The people at Whitewater Connection were amazing. They were pros. They made the trip fun, funny and were experts at navigating the river. They had a strong concern for our safety and kept us psyched up about our adventure the entire time. I would strongly recommend you take a whitewater rafting trip with Whitewater Connection down the south fork of... More

Just got back earlier this month from the two day rafting trip with our three kids 19, 16, 8. Everyone had a great time. We booked with River Runners out of LA.
