Bigfoot Rafting is a Willow Creek, California river outfitter offering guided rafting trips, inflatable kayak rentals, and multi-day wilderness excursions on the Trinity River and its tributaries. The business provides daily rentals of rafts and inflatable kayaks, including essential safety equipment such as PFDs and paddles, so guests can explore local river stretches independently or choose guided alternatives for added support.
Guided full-day trips include deli-style lunches and scheduled swimming breaks. Signature runs include class II and III trips like Pigeon Point and French Creek, more remote gorges such as Weitchpec Gorge, and higher-difficulty outings like the spring-only Three Bears Class IV experience. Single- and double-person inflatable kayaks are available for guided paddling trips such as Hawkins Bar.
For multi-day adventurers, Bigfoot Rafting offers two- and three-day trips with riverside camping, all necessary gear, meals provided on the overnight excursions, and transportation when noted. The Trinity River 2 Day Trip runs June through September and features private riverside campsites, while the Trinity River 3 Day Trip is offered year-round for extended wilderness expeditions.
All trip descriptions and seasonal notes are provided so visitors can choose appropriate runs for experience level. Bigfoot Rafting operates from Willow Creek, serving as a gateway to Trinity River whitewater, scenic gorges, and family-friendly floats for guests seeking guided expertise or self-guided rentals.
