California Rafting                                 

Our 2015 river season will start in mid April. We run trips April through October on the Class 3 South Fork American River . No other river in California has such dependable flows as the American River does, thanks to hydro power releases from reservoirs upstream.

We also offer rafting adventures on the class 4 &5 North Fork Yuba (April through Mid June) and the class 4 Middle Fork American River June through September). To try one of these spectacular adventures you'll need to put together a group of 12 or more rafters.

Beyond Limits Adventures trips feature miles of fun and exciting rapids on California's most beautiful rivers. Our friendly, skilled professional guides, our fabulous riverfront campground and Beyond Limits' exceptional service make us stand out above all other rafting companies!
