1 DAY TRIP- MAYTAG SECTION

1 DAY UPPER TRIP - For experienced paddlers We'll meet at Convict Flat Day use area at 9:30AM and head to the best whitewater on the upper sections of the North Yuba River. Due to varying weather and river conditions during the spring we leave it up to our guide's discretion to take the group to the upper run that has the best flows on the day of your trip. Each section has a window of optimum flow and we'll adjust the trips accordingly.
During high water, we'll run the biggest rapids of the Maytag section in the morning, eat lunch and then drive upstream to put-in on Moss Canyon class 4+ action! During Medium flows we'll run Moss Canyon in the morning, eat lunch and then run the challenging Rosasco Ravine section with several class 5 rapids. Low water conditions let us start at Downieville and run Rosasco and Maytag in one day. On some days we'll take expert paddlers up to run class 5 Wild Plum with a stop for lunch halfway through.
All Paddlers should have previous experience and be strong paddlers, agile in the raft and good swimmers. This trip involves extensive shuttling so get ready for a long day- but it is well worth the effort!

HALF DAY UPPER TRIP -Add a second day of class 4 and 5 whitewater to your one day Maytag run- The rapids of the Upper North Yuba are some of the finest in the west. Moss Canyon features a narrow corridor laced with non-stop whitewater and stunning scenery. You'll raft many blind drops and complex rapids that require precise paddling. This is some of the most best whitewater that we know of... and great to do after a day of honing your paddling skills on the class 4 Maytag section. Lunch is not included but we will be off the river by 1:00 so you can grab something to eat in the town of Downieville, CA.

Towards the end of the season we will switch our upper trips to the fantastic Rosasco Ravine section below Downieville. This section features some class 5 rapids and one portage that requires good footwork. Don't Miss out on this action while you're in the Downieville Area!

These trips feature all the qualities of our regular North Fork Yuba Trips - Professional and skilled guides, State of the Art equipment, and exceptional whitewater. We've devised a way to reduce our costs midweek on these trips and pass the savings on to you. You'll get our best guides as usual but you'll have to bring your own meals.We stop at our regular lunch spots. Bring your own refreshments for on-river, lunch and take-out and you'll have to help a little with the shuttle. Instead of our usual bus shuttle, we will shuttle drivers only in a van and the trip is delayed by a few minutes at lunch. Otherwise its a great way to enjoy the fabulous North Fork Yuba and have the river pretty much to yourself!

All trips require a minimum of 4 persons. Two day trips include rafting on the Maytag section on one day and either Moss Canyon or Rosasco Ravine on Day 2. Camping is on your own at one of the many riverfront USFS Camp sites. You may also check out our links for lodging in the Downieville Area.
