Spring Rafting

When days grow longer and winter snows begin to melt in the high country, creeks spring to life, rivers swell...spring unfolds in an extravagance of budding trees, new tender grasses and wildflower splendor.

Spring rafting means action!

The northern frontier of northern California is a land unique for its physical diversity and unparalleled raw beauty: legendary and majestic snow capped Mt Shasta, rugged mountain ranges, vast forests, abundant wildlife, crystal clear lakes and a dense wild and scenic river system. This is the home to some of the most outstanding whitewater rivers and some of the best spring runs in the country.

The Sacramento, largest of California rivers, is born in the Eddy mountains. Before it merges with the McCloud and Pitt rivers and becomes a huge valley waterway, it is a swift mountain river careening through a narrow, lush canyon with cascading side streams and breathtaking views of Mt Shasta and Castle Crags. The most popular rafting run starts at Sims, just 12 miles south of Mt Shasta City. The pace is fast with rapids around every bend.

The California Salmon is a major tributary of the Klamath river. It springs to life in the isolation of the Marble Mountain Wilderness. Spring rains and snowmelt turn in into one of the finest whitewater runs in the whole state. Sparkling blue waters rampage through majestically sculptured granite walls in a series of exhilarating class IV and V rapids.

The Scott river begins its journey in the Trinity Alps, meanders through the ranch lands of the Scott Valley, then plunges into a deep forested canyon. This is an exceptional class V run with long boulder garden rapids and big drops requiring precise maneuvering, all at a ferocious pace!

Spring boating requires a healthy respect for the natural world when it's flush and full. To help foster that respect, River Dancers offers a whitewater school open to anyone seeking a better understanding of river hydraulics, safety issues, rescue techniques and leadership skills.

Spring whitewater rafting is about challenge and teamwork. Good fitness level, swimming skills, spirit, courage and wisdom are a must.
