Planning Tips:

  1. Choose your adventure:
  2. Grab your friends, neighbors, and co-workers...???!
    (Individuals welcome too!)
    Ask for a group organizer kit, which includes brochures, a full color poster, a sign up sheet and more information about group discounts and free trips. 1-800-42-RAFTS (427-2387) or email us at malode@malode.com
  3. Choose a day: The river rafting season begins in April and continues through October. For a little extra excitement book your trip for early in the season, peak river flows run through April and May. The water will be cold in the early season so wetsuits will most likely be required. We trade in our wetsuits in early June for sunscreen, and paddle away through hot summer days until late October. Our Outdoor Education and Challenge Course Programs are available year round.
  4. Make a reservation: Reservations are required to book an outdoor adventure with Mother Lode.
    • Weekends fill quickly; so please call well in advance.
    • Mid-week, the rivers and our camp will be much less crowded, and we offer reduced rates.
