Whitewater Rafting Near Yosemite National Park

Whitewater rafting is one of the most unforgettable ways to experience the Yosemite region’s river canyons, especially in spring and early summer when snowmelt brings the rivers to life. We partner with Sierra Mac River Trips, a locally based, family-owned outfitter founded in 1965, offering trips on the Tuolumne, Merced, and Cherry Creek—from beginner-friendly late season float trips to high-adrenaline Class V adventures.
