O.A.R.S. California Whitewater Rafting Adventures

Think you’re ready for big-time California whitewater? Grab a paddle and dig into some serious early-season adventure on the North Fork of the Stanislaus River! Meet beneath the Giant Sequoia Redwood trees in Calaveras Big Trees State Park, just down the hill from Bear Valley Mountain, for an afternoon of extreme, adrenaline-filled excitement through the most technical Class IV, boulder-strewn rapids in California. This heart-pumping adventure is the perfect addition to your otherwise relaxing stay in Bear Valley, Arnold, Dorrington or Murphys!

O.A.R.S. also offers other nearby whitewater rafting adventures on the South, Middle and North Forks of the American in California’s Gold Country, and the Tuolumne and Merced Rivers near Yosemite National Park, all within a short drive of Sacramento, the Bay Area and Lake Tahoe.
