Family Whitewater Rafting
Family Friendly River Rafting
We are a whitewater family, and we love the river. Gathering friends for South Fork American River rafting , planning trips, organizing gear, preparing meals, setting up camp, navigating whitewater, overcoming adversity, refining skills, learning history, admiring scenery, observing wildlife, telling stories, playing games, forming connections, and slowing all the way down . . . to river time.
We launched Coloma Lotus Whitewater to enable other families to share in those experiences on South Fork American River rafting trips.
