MAKE THE MOST OF RAFTING SEASON
And Enjoy a Day on the Water With These Tips Sure, August doesn’t mark the official beginning of summer, celebrate our nation’s independence, or give us a three-day weekend. But it offers something just as great: the best time of the year to be on
PROTECT YOURSELF FROMTHE SUN. It might seem counterintuitive to wear anything other than a swimsuit on a hot day on the river, but in most cases, you’ll be exposed to full sun while on the water, so covering up is crucial to preventing sunburns.

For rafting enthusiasts, the warm and dry weather in August means water levels are lower, and rivers can be a bit tamer than earlier in the season.This also makes August the perfect time for new rafters to try the activity. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your day on the river. GOWITH AN EXPERIENCED GUIDE. If you’re planning to tackle any type of whitewater, it’s crucial that you go with an experienced raft guide. Whitewater can be dangerous, and only someone who knows how to expertly navigate rapids will be able to ensure you have an enjoyable, thrilling experience instead of a dangerous one.
pants on chillier days are all good options as well. BRING PLENTY OFWATER AND FOOD. One of the many fun aspects of rafting is spending a day — or even multiple days — on the river.
Make sure you bring plenty of reusable bottles filled with water for hydration. Depending on how long you’ll be gone, you may want to pack a meal or two along with plenty of snacks that are easy to eat on the river. Most rafts will have a dry box where you can store food and other items that need to remain moisture-free. As you set out on the river, enjoy the solitude of connecting to nature away from the hubbub of the rest of the world.
