Rafting

Meander Down the Merced River

Operating Season

  • 5/17/24 - 9/9/24, extremely dependent on river levels, check back often for updates.

Spend the afternoon rafting in Yosemite--you'll have tons of fun while cooling off and taking in some amazing views. Your trip will include a 3-mile float down the Merced River in a raft that holds 2-4 people.

The Yosemite rafting season varies from year to year and depends on factors such as the depth of the rivers, the temperature of the water and the seasonal snowmelt. With a good snowpack year, the season can last anywhere from the middle of July to the end of August.
