The Best of Merced River Rafting in May and June
When the season’s snow melts rapidly enough this year, white water rafting enthusiasts can begin to enjoy the Merced River rafting adventures as early as mid-April. This area is typically ideal for whitewater rafters by May an late June, but beginning paddlers will need to wait until the wildest waters settle down – usually around late-June to early July. The Merced River offers 18 miles of nonstop action, adventurous river flows, and rolling rapids that are truly one of a kind.
Rafting season begins as early as March of each year, and runs through late September. The Merced River is expected to be raft-able through July, and the last few weeks will offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy all-day trips. The American River will also be raft-able until the late-September, offering scenic views and landscapes at the turn of the season. No matter what experience level you may have, 2008 offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy some of this decades most memorable and exciting adventures.
