Rafting activities in Sierra Nevada

Rafting
From about late May to July, floating the Merced River from Stoneman Meadow, near Curry Village, to Sentinel Bridge is a leisurely way to soak up Yosemite Valley views.
Raft rentals for the 3-mile trip are available at Curry Village and include equipment and a tram ride back to the rental kiosk. Rafting above Yosemite Stables or below Cathedral Beach Picnic Area is forbidden.
River rats are also drawn to the fierce Tuolumne River, a classic Class IV run that plunges and thunders through boulder gardens and cascades. Both Oars and Zephyr Whitewater Expeditions run a variety of trips.

Truckee River Raft Rentals
The Truckee River is gentle and wide as it flows northwest from the lake - perfect for novice rafters who like to drag a six-pack behind the boat. Truckee River Raft Rentals rents rafts for the 5-mile float from Tahoe City to the River Ranch Lodge, including transportation back to town.
