Eel River Overnight River Trip

There is something truly magical about an overnight journey on the wild and scenic Eel River. Far from screens and daily distractions, you settle into the simple rhythm of river life, where the only sounds are flowing water, laughter, and a crackling campfire beneath a sky full of stars. Days are spent floating through breathtaking canyon scenery, running playful rapids, and exploring hidden tributaries and quiet side canyons. This seldom traveled stretch follows the historic route of the abandoned Northwestern Pacific Railroad, adding a sense of timeless adventure to the experience. Wildlife sightings are common, camps are peaceful and scenic, and the solitude is unmatched for those seeking to truly disconnect and recharge in nature.

Guided by the dedicated team at Six Rivers Rafting, each expedition is thoughtfully planned around your group’s interests and comfort. Guests enjoy organic meals prepared from scratch, featuring fresh ingredients, homemade specialties, and options to accommodate dietary needs. Professional and personable guides ensure both safety and fun while navigating the river’s changing flows. Private parking, quality river gear, and comfortable camping equipment are all provided to create a seamless and memorable adventure. Launching from Dos Rios and floating toward Alderpoint, this springtime journey offers an unforgettable blend of relaxation, exploration, and connection that lingers long after the river miles have passed.
