2012 SUMMER - END OF RAFTING SEASON

All of us here at Truckee River Rafting would like to say "Thank you" to everyone who rafted with us this season! You all made this year an unforgettable  summer. We saw many families float multiple times due to some of the best water levels and weather we've had in years! We truly appreciate everyones patience during the peak times and hope all of our staff was courteous and professional from the start to finish.

I can't say enough about our staff this year... you were all amazing! We hope this will be a summer you'll remember and will bring a smile to your face. Safe travels to you all...

On a final note, I'd like to thank all our family members for all their love and support.  It would not be possible without them!  "A thousand cheers" to everyone and our beautiful Truckee River!!

AUG. 21, 2012 "OLYMPIC TEAM RAFTS WITH US"

This was exciting!!! We had some of this years Olympic Gold Medalists from the Women's Water Polo Team go rafting with us!  It was an honor to be in their presence!  So amazing for me!  Go USA!!!

AUGUST 9, 2012 UPDATE - STAFF REPORT

We're having a very busy rafting season this year!  The water levels have been perfect and weather has been amazing.

At this time, I would like to thank all of our rafting staff for their high level of service. I appreciate your enthusiasm and commitment to help every rafting customer.  I know at times the job can be very demanding and during August's high volume of rafters, we all get a bit low on energy.

You're ALL doing great! Remember, take a deep breath, smile, enjoy working outside, and know you're appreciated by every guest and me!

JULY 10, 2012

Rafting on the Truckee River has been excellent this season! The July 4th holiday had perfect weather in the upper 70's to mid 80's.  Water conditions have also been amazing with flows at 350 cfs, which is just perfect!

There's only one problem... with water flows at this rate, your rafting trip will be faster.  We've had some rafters make the trip in 1 1/2 hours and wish it had taken a bit longer!  So, our advise is to take your time and enjoy!!

Many "thanks" to everyone who has rafted with us...and again, if you have any comments, please let us know  and if you had fun on your trip, give us a "thumbs up" on our "like" button!

JULY 2,2012

We're into the Fourth of July holiday and the weather and water is great!!  Water flows are now at a "perfect" 345 cfs!  Water temps are in the low 60's and winds have subsided to a nice Tahoe breeze.

Give us a call or book a trip via our new website and receive great discounts. Our new easy to remember phone number... (530) 583-1111 that even I can remember!

Let us know if you like our new website or if you have any suggestions. We'd appreciate a "Like" on Facebook too!

Hope to see you on the "River"  and remember to look for our bright yellow umbrellas and flags at our entrance!

Thanks for taking a look, Ryan and staff

JUNE 25, 2012 UPDATE

We've had some unseasonably cool and windy conditions for the past few days here in Tahoe, but looks like Tuesday will be warmer and less breezy.

The river flows are still increasing and are now up to 290 cfs!  See ya on the "River"!!!

JUNE 21, 2012

Rafting on the Truckee River this season has been very good!  Now, water levels are up around 270 cfs, which is almost perfect. Our ideal cfs (cubic feet per second) is about 350 cfs, give or take 50 cfs. We could be in that range within the next few days.

So water wise, we couldn't be happier!  As for the weather, they're expecting some windy conditions and a bit cooler temps for the weekend.

Give us a call if you'd like more info or follow our blog and facebook!

Well... we've made it through our first few days of the season and all is going great! I'm very impressed with our staff and think you'll love them too! We're all looking forward to a happy summer of rafting on the Truckee! 


The water level is inching up everyday and should be perfect flows soon!


See ya on the "River", Ryan
