Six Rivers Rafting Inc., based in Junction City, California, guides river adventures on the Trinity River. The company offers a diverse lineup of guided trips, from half-day Class III whitewater kayaking and rafting trips to full-day scenic Class II excursions and challenging upper-river runs featuring continuous Class II–III and Class III–IV rapids. Trips include family-friendly options, pet-friendly departures on select runs, and experiences that combine floating, wildlife viewing, cliff jumping, and swimming holes.
Full-day and half-day itineraries feature organic lunches or light snacks depending on the trip, and some full-day trips include professional photography.
