Rafting the East Fork of the Carson River Hangmans Run Full Day Adventure

Embark on a beginner-friendly whitewater rafting journey, perfect for all ability levels seeking a full day of river fun amidst stunning high desert scenery. This river boasting class II+ rapids provides an escape from the crowds and hustle of everyday life, immersing you in scenic, uninterrupted wilderness. And here’s the bonus – indulge in rejuvenating Hot Springs along the way!

Rafting the East Fork of the Carson River is a true treat. Picture scenic snow-capped peaks surrounding your boat as you float east from the Sierra crest toward the Nevada high desert. The adventure kicks off with swift Class II whitewater, creating an exhilarating dance as the current moves back and forth around the river bends.

Historical sites along the riverbank seamlessly blend into the natural setting, adding a touch of heritage to your journey. Approximately 9 miles downstream, reach a highlight of the adventure—riverside Hot Springs. Immerse yourself in geothermal wonders captured in riverside tubs, providing a perfect setting to warm up and relax while your guides set up a delicious buffet-style lunch. Fresh veggies, fruits, and satisfying ingredients await to satiate your well-deserved appetite.

As the journey progresses downstream, the river slows, unveiling a shift from mountainous scenery to the captivating high desert. With each bend, keep a lookout for wild mustang horses and geological rock structures. The East Fork of the Carson River trip concludes just outside Gardnerville, Nevada.

Finishing we collect our river rafting gear, load back onto our rafting bus, and relish the memories as we drive back to our meeting location in Woodfords to return you to your vehicles.
