Hi Rafters ? We would like to share an update on our season – Due to the epic snowfall we received this winter, our rivers and lakes are FULL! However unfortunately for rafting, too much water means little to no chance of opening. At this time we are not accepting reservations for summer 2023 ? If this changes, we will let you know ASAP. In the meantime, we hope you have a wonderful Tahoe summer and we look forward to seeing you all on the river next year! ? – The Riverman
