Pine Mountain Lake Horse Back Riding
Our full service Equestrian Center is now open to the public year round and offers trail rides, special excursions, western riding lessons, play days, horse shows, and children's horse camps.
Yosemite has a number of stables that can provide two-hour, half-day and all-day rides. Areas include Yosemite Valley, Wawona or Tuolumne Meadows.
Twain Harte is the perfect travel destination. It's an easy day trip to Yosemite and we're in the midst of historic Gold Country.
Rafting along the Merced River is popular during summer. You can rent a raft (typically in June and July, but it varies from year to year, depending on water level) or bring your own. (Other nonmotorized vessels, such as kayaks, are also permitted.)
Rafting is permitted on the Merced River between Stoneman Bridge (near Curry Village) and Sentinel Beach Picnic Area between 10 am and 6 pm under the following conditions: the river stage (depth) must read less than 6.5 feet at Sentinel Bridge and the sum of air temperature and water temperature must be more than 100°F. You must have a personal flotation device immediately available for each occupant of the raft (and children under age 13 must be wearing one).
Rafting is also permitted on the South Fork of the Merced River in the Wawona area.
Some visitors enjoy kayaking the calm waters of Tenaya Lake. .
Browse through our site and find out about our deluxe one and two-day whitewater rafting trips on the upper Kings River.
Our launching point for trips on both the Merced and Tuolumne Rivers are just outside Yosemite National Park, and a trip down either of these rivers can easily be combined with a visit to Yosemite.
