Rafting Lake Tahoe's Truckee River

Floating the Truckee River is one of the most exhilarating yet relaxing activities during Lake Tahoe’s summer season.  Whether you decide to go with a more organized tour for your adventure, or simply take your own single-person inner tube, you’re bound to have a wonderful day full of sunshine and adventure.  

If you choose to opt for a more structured tour, the best and most popular option is going with the Truckee River Raft Co., located in Tahoe City. This self-guided, five-mile tour begins there, and ends at the River Ranch, which, if you’re hungry, is a great place to grab a post-float meal.  If you opt to float the river this way, you’ll be provided with shuttle bus rides from the bottom of the tour back to where you started, complimentary parking, life jackets, and paddles.

And after a full day of soaking up the sun and enjoying yourself on the Truckee River, take some time to wind down in downtown Tahoe City before settling back into your Lake Tahoe cabin.
