Rafting During COVID-19

We at River Dancers recognize the seriousness of the COVID-19 situation and plan to do what we can to reduce infection rates and “flatten the curve.” Until California’s stay-at-home order is lifted, we will not be running trips. We hope that the situation resolves quickly and still plan to have a river season, though we are currently in a wait-and-see mode. By mid-April, we hope to know more about the outlook for the next couple of months so that we can plan appropriately. The most important thing now is to stay healthy through these difficult times. We wish you all the best and hope to see you out on the river again soon! — Aaron Beverly, Owner & Guide
