Knights Ferry To Orange Blossom
Stanislaus River
The 7-mile Stanislaus River trip from Knights Ferry to Orange Blossom Park is one of the most popular float trips in Northern California! This scenic and relaxing float is mostly class I floating, with the class II Russian Rapids keeping things exciting in the first 15 minutes of the trip. The “halfway” point of this trip is Horseshoe Park, a sprawling and easily accessible park that includes restrooms, picnic tables, and plenty of shade. This float trip is good for all ages 5+ for rafting. Weekends do tend to get busy on this section of water, so plan ahead and make sure to bring plenty of water and snacks on the day of your trip.
- This trip starts at the Knights Ferry Recreation Area. You check in here, get your equipment, and start your trip at the area you check in at!
- This is a beginner-friendly, self-guided trip
- This trip, especially on weekends, can get pretty busy, so it is definitely a social atmosphere!
- This is not a whitewater rafting trip. The only rapid on this trip will get you wet, but is still mild and fun for beginners.
