I decided to see the American River the best way, the night before. The owner made it very easy to reserve and daniella was one of the best guides I've ever had (my third rafting trip), but probably the most adventurous because of the river. I was lucky to have a Fun group. Thank you for making it so easy. God bless!

Just got back from an epic Father Daughter camping / rafting trip at Mother Lode. Staff was the best! Qualified river guides, and the food was awesome. Dads and daughters had the best time. Highly recommend!
