The one-day Middle Fork rafting trips are spent mostly on the water. This wild and scenic river trip allows guests to view wide quartz veins, light gray granite and dark gray and black layers of alternating sandstone and some wildlife! You’ll get to take a nice lunch break on a sandy beach where you’re welcome to take a swim, while the guides prepare your lunch.  Minimum age is subject to current river conditions and the ability to swim is required on all trips.
