    Loved Everything About This Day

    My husband, my 3 yr old son, our 4mo old German Shepherd Charlie and myself absolutely loved this activity. Bring a soft shell cooler with your fav beverages and snacks and enjoy a relaxing day on the river. The company is so cool that they allow dogs, we brought our own life jacket for Charlie since it would be easier to get her back in the boat if she jumped out. We took our time, normally takes 2-3 hours but we took 4 hours by stopping along the river to drink, eat, and take a dip!

    Great fun for both dogs and people

    Truckee River Raft Company allows you to bring your pup on a lazy, self-guided float down the Truckee River by Lake Tahoe. In other places I have visited, dogs are not welcome on rafts, so this is truly special. The water is crystal clear, and there are plenty of places to stop and swim or eat your lunch along the way. They even allow you to bring coolers and alcohol (just no glass or styrofoam, please).

    Great For Our Aging Dog

    This was an awesome activity to do with our 12 1/2 year old lab. The river was mostly calm and had a bunch of different spots you could pull off to the side and let her swim. There are portable bathrooms on the side of the river every mile down. The entire trip took us just over 2 hours. The staff was friendly and made sure we were comfortable before we left down the river. 100% must do activity to do with your dog!!

    Awesome Adventure

    Even though we read that this was pet friendly we were still hesitant. However once there we were very welcomed along with our furbaby. This was probably the most fun we had on our entire vacation. Pet friendly and a blast.

    More than I expected...

    I was very nervous about rafting because of my fear of water. I'm great at swimming but I guess I just thought there were be crazy rapids. There was still enough excitement on our trip, but it was calm enough that the door was not in danger. Would love to go back.
