Truckee River Raft Rentals ?
We are not the raft rental companY that operateS on the "float Section" of the Truckee River from Tahoe City to River Ranch Bar & Grill.
We only offer guided whitewater rafting trips on a section that is lower on the Truckee River towards the Nevada state line. Often times we are STILL able to operate when the rental companies are shut down. Either due to the water level being too high for them to float under the bridges, or to low for them to float over the rocks. If you are having trouble getting ahold of the Truckee Raft Rentals check with us for more information on water levels or other options for floating on the Truckee River.
2023 Truckee River Water Outlook
Water Flows on the Truckee River Look to be average this season.
Despite a record snowpack that still remains in the Sierra Mountains, Northern California has many reservoirs that need to be filled from the past few years of drought. The Truckee is a damn controlled river, so they will be moving water around and controlling the flow down the Truckee River. Regulations require a minimum of 500 cfs, which is also our rafting minimum. Above 1,500 cfs we are able to offer rafting on other sections of the river. This summer we are expecting flows between 1,500 - 500 cfs from mid-June through the end of September.

Other Sections on the Truckee River
High Water levels on the Truckee River means more rafting trip options for you!
During wet seasons, not only will the standard Boca to Floriston "Lower Gorge" run on the Truckee River have water, there is also good flows on the longer Boca to Verdi full-day rafting trip through early summer. The Verdi to Reno "Gorilla Falls" Section (class II+) also has water during wet springs. While we do not typically operate on this section we are available to take large groups on this slightly easier section of the Truckee River.
