There’s nothing more fun than a splashy raft trip on a hot summer day! Don’t miss your chance to raft the Mokelumne River near Jackson, with professional guides.

On Saturday, June 28th, you can raft the Mokelumne River with O.A.R.S. of Angels Camp. The trips will benefit the Foothill Conservancy and support its efforts to protect and restore both the Mokelumne River and the lands of its watershed in Amador and Calaveras Counties. O.A.R.S. will run a guided trip starting at 9:00 am on the Mokelumne’s 5.5-mile Electra-Middle Bar Run south of Jackson. Check in is at Jackson Raley’s parking lot.

Cost is $99 per person and space is limited. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Participants must be at least age 8 and adults should be in good health.  Youth under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

The entire trip, including transportation to and from the site, should take about three hours.

“This is a rare opportunity to float the Mokelumne and experience its beauty from river level with skilled guides and professional equipment,” said Conservancy Executive Director Craig Baracco.

O.A.R.S. of Angels Camp is one of the world’s finest whitewater rafting companies and a longtime friend of the Conservancy. They have skilled, knowledgeable professional guides and well-equipped and maintained rafts.

The trip is a fun introduction to whitewater rafting, suitable for families and healthy seniors. No prior rafting experience is required. You’ll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the scenery as well as fun, bouncy Class II-III rapids: the Chute, S-Turn, and everyone’s favorite, the Devil’s Toilet Bowl. Below the Highway 49 Bridge, rafters may see ducks, geese, and other wildlife along the river.
