Welcome to the Riverboat Marina.  The Marina is located in the heart of the California Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.  This unique fresh-water river system has been a favorite for boaters, waterskiers and fishing enthusiasts for decades. With over a thousand miles of interconnected waterways, it is the most exciting place in Northern California. The Delta water levels are unaffected by seasonal rainfall, so it’s excellent for boating year ’round.

A shared vision for our marina and its future is to essentially look at it as a place where you as a tenant can park your car, walk a short distance to your boat, and feel that you are literally away from the stress provoking elements of day-to-day living in our hectic society.  Imagine being able to walk to an excellent restaurant for food, drink or entertainment; to walk to a boat yard to have your vessel taken care of by professionals or simply check out the wonders of boating; to walk on a half mile trail for the s heer enjoyment of enjoying what nature has provided while getting necessary exercise; or to simply visit and become part of a “family”, one intent on enjoying life for what it can be.

Sacramento’s Premier Boat Venue for Parties & More ★★★★★

"I would give the River City Queen a 10 review if I could!!! Captain Jim and his staff were beyond great. Extremely accommodating, friendly, professional and just all around GREAT!! My wife had the best time celebrating her 50th birthday and Captain Jim and his staff were a huge part of it. Definitely the boat to get for a surprise party or any other type of party."

"50 people on the River City Queen to celebrate my birthday last week. What fun!!! We cruised up river and even made an excursion into the American River. The weather was completely perfect, the lighting gorgeous (it was the golden hour and sunset), food delicious, great mai tais and friendly staff! We even saw a sea lion lounging on someone's pier. My friends took some spectacular photos that I'm going to get them to share here."

"The perfect setting for my 80th birthday party. Family and friends dined at a delicious buffet and enjoyed their favorite beverages. The music, provided by Tony Shaw of Cornerstone Productions, was geared for the occasion, encouraging a raucous karaoke session. My birthday cake was fabulous. The hosts, Captain Jim and his mate, Kris made sure everything was perfect for the occasion. A memorable excursion on the Sacramento River. It was a party I will never forget."

How to Lazy Float the American River (American River Tubing Guide)

* This article contains affiliate links, which help run this site at no extra cost to you.

TL;DR: Here’s a brief overview of how to lazy float the American River:

• Start at Sacramento Bar Park with your own or rental inner tubes (tied together if in a group) and float for 3-4 hours.
• Finish before the bridge at the William B. Pond Park.
• Remember to bring plenty of water, apply sunscreen, and have a car parked at the endpoint for the best experience.

There are a lot of great places to go tubing (aka lazy floating) in California, but one of the most popular spots is on the American River

With a starting point that’s just outside of Sacramento , it’s one of the most convenient places to float near a major city. 

It’s no surprise then that it’s such a popular place to find Sacramentans, tourists, and Bay Area residents floating on hot days in the summer. 

My East Bay friend group usually does a summer float on the American River each year and this year was my first time experiencing it with them. 

Quite a few of our friends have moved up to the Sacramento area in the past couple of years so it has become a good excuse to get everyone together again.

And since I’m not always the best with water-based activities, it was also nice to go with a large group who was already very familiar with the route.

After experiencing the river myself and enjoying it with a bunch of people who have been doing it for years, I took away a lot of information on how best to lazy float the American River.  

This post gives you the full rundown of what to expect and how to make the most of your day on the American River.

Overview: Lazy Tubing Down the American River

What to expect & the route.

Setting Up 

Our group met at Sacramento Bar Park, across from Sunrise Boulevard Recreation Area, to slather on the sunscreen, catch up, use the bathroom, and blow up our inner tubes with an electric pump. 

While we were getting ready, we had two people head over to William B. Pond Park (where we’d be ending the float). They dropped off one car and came back in another. 

That one car would take all of the drivers back to Sacramento Bar Park at the end of the float, so the drivers could come back to pick up everyone else in their respective cars at William B. Pond Park. 

Once we had everyone together at Sacramento Bar Park again, we opened some Trullys and set off on the river.

On the River

In general, you can expect a leisurely float down the American River without too many rapids or fast-moving water. 

Compared to other places I’ve done river floats, this section that you float on the American River isn’t usually very fast-moving. 

Of course, that’s also dependent on water levels but, in general, from talking to people who have done the float every year, it’s usually a pretty slow-moving river. 

There are two class I or class II rapids (depending on water levels) in the first half of the float. 

The first one was a piece of cake but the second one was slightly scarier with a decent drop over a group of rocks. 

Our group had a handful of floats that popped on both rapids, especially on the second one, which is why it’s always good to have an extra float or two or to bring a heavier duty inner tube. 

Besides the two rapids, we’d sometimes come across small bumpy rapids where the water sped up and it got more shallow. 

Someone in the group would yell “butts up!” and we passed over these spots within a few seconds. 

There were a couple of sections where we got off the main current of the river and found ourselves going around in circles in the same spot.

This was probably due to us being such a large group (we had around a dozen or so inner tubes connected to one another). 

It made me realize that having a paddle or two might be nice for future floats.  

We mostly just got stuck after the second rapid when we were pushed to the far side of the river, but a paddle would also be nice to push off of rocks or avoid tree branches. 

After the second rapid, it was a smooth ride the rest of the way. 

We passed by some beaches and popular swimming spots. The river was crowded with a lot of floats but it never felt too packed and we only bumped into other floats a couple of times. 

Along the way, there were also plenty of groups with water guns and water cannons to spray us with cold water, both from the beaches and from the water. 

We passed by Mud Island, a fork in the river (you can take either path since both end in the same place), and eventually got out at William B. Pond Park right before we went under the bridge.

The full float took us around four hours to complete. I’ve heard it’s usually closer to three hours, but the river was a bit lower during our trip. 

Even though it was in the high 90s F, it never felt too hot during the float since we were soaking in water in our tubes the whole day. 

Honestly, by the time we got out at the bridge, it felt like I had just left a spa day, I was that relaxed after the float.

Practical Info

Section of the River: Lower American River 

Where to Start: Sacramento Bar Park or Sunrise Boulevard river access point, just below Sunrise Boulevard Bridge. There are various parks along the route that you can start from but this is the most popular starting point and where we started our trip from. 

Where to End: River Bend Park (aka Goethe Park) or William B. Pond Park, which is easy to spot since it’s underneath a bike path bridge that goes over the water (just get out before the bridge). If you rented tubes instead of bringing your own, you’ll probably be picked up from River Bend Park or Ancil Hoffman Park. You can expect the rental place to give you exact instructions though. 

Note: If you’re looking for a slightly longer float, another popular route is starting at Hazel Avenue and ending at Gristmill Recreation Area. This adds another few miles to your trip. 

Cost: $5 for parking 

Miles: 6 miles 

Duration: 3-4 hours (depending on water levels)

Rapids: San Juan Rapids and Arden Bar Rapids. These are class I & II rapids (depending on water levels).

American River Floating Map

Best Time to do an American River Float

The best time to go floating on the American River is in the summer when the weather is hot and water levels are at their best for lazy tubing. 

Basically anytime between Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day Weekend is a good bet. 

We went tubing at the end of June but July and August are also popular times to float down the American River. 

Just note that alcohol is prohibited on the river and the shoreline during Memorial Day Weekend, 4th of July, and Labor Day Weekend.

Renting vs Bringing Your Own Tube

For tubing down the American River, you can either BYOT (bring your own tube) or book a raft rental from one of the local river rafting companies.

Two of the most popular rental spots for this section of the American River are River Rat Rentals and American River Raft Rentals  

There are a few pros and cons to both options.

Renting a Raft 

Renting a raft can be nice for a lot of reasons. 

You don’t have to worry about purchasing an expensive inner tube that you might only use once.  

You can also pay a small fee to use their shuttle system ($8-$10) so you don’t have to worry about parking at both the start and end and you have access to free parking. 

They also give you life jackets and paddles, which can be nice for people who aren’t strong swimmers or if you simply want more control over the direction you float. 

You can also book rafts for up to 4-12 people, which can be a fun and cheaper way to float down the river as a group as opposed to all having your own inner tubes. You also don’t have to blow up the rafts yourself. 

There are some downsides to renting though. The raft rentals are a bit overkill for this section of the river since they only rent you heavy-duty whitewater rafting-esque rafts. 

This also means that you don’t get to soak in the water as you float like you would a traditional inner tube since the rafts are above the water. 

Depending on the weather when you go, it can get hot fast if you’re not actually in the water for most of the float. 

Raft rentals range from $65-$195 depending on the capacity of the raft you rent.

BYOT (Bring Your Own Tube) 

This is the option we did and it was nice to have a little more freedom for the location we wanted to start and end at and what time we wanted to start our float. 

Our group mostly bought inner tubes from Amazon for the trip. 

Suneel and I got the Double River Run inner tube which was pretty affordable for the two of us and it included a cooler. 

Since our group’s tubes weren’t as durable as the raft rentals, we had a few that popped when going over the rapids.

Luckily, we had plenty of extra space in some of our larger tubes so no one was left without a tube to hang out in. 

However, durability is still something to keep in mind if you want to bring your own tube. 

It was also ideal to soak in the water throughout the trip since we were all in our individual inner tubes with our butts in the water. 

This wasn’t so great when we were going over shallow parts of the river, but as long as we put our butts up we were fine. 

And finally, it just has a different feel to have your own space but to still all be connected in a big circle while floating down the river. 

So, I’d say it really depends on what type of experience you’re looking for when it comes to rentals vs BYOT, but either option works well for a float down the American River.

What to Pack for a Float Down the American River

• Inner tube (if you’re not renting one) 
• Hand or electric pump
• Rope and carabiners (to connect to each other)
• Bathing suit
• Plenty of Water
• SPF Lip balm
• Inflatable cooler
• Sarong / lightweight towel
• Waterproof bluetooth speaker
• Water guns / water cannons
• Water shoes
• Waterproof case for your phone
• Alcohol (just no glass)
• Optional: Paddle
• Optional: Extra inner tubes in case yours pops
• Optional: Life jacket

Tips for American River Tubing

• Check water levels ahead of time – It’s important to check water levels ahead of time to make sure the river isn’t too low or high when you float. This usually isn’t an issue in the summer, but it’s good to make sure water levels are 5,000 cfs or below if you want a leisurely float. And unless you want your float to take over 5 hours, I’d recommend going on a day when water levels are at least 1,800 cfs if not higher. The river was around 2,000 cfs the day we went and it took us 4 hours to do the full float, which was about an hour slower than usual. You can check current water levels for the Lower American River here . 
• Plan where to park your cars – Unless you’re renting rafts and paying for a shuttle service, you should plan to have at least one car at the starting point and one car at the ending point of your route to make transportation a breeze. 
• Don’t leave valuables in your car – There are known to be car break-ins sometimes at the parking areas along the river. Don’t leave valuables in your car or a bunch of stuff that someone might be tempted to go through. It’s also a good idea to leave any priceless valuables at home. We had two wedding rings that fell off in the river just in our group. It’s best not to take that chance and just leave those super valuable items at home. 
• Make sure you have a sturdy enough tube for the small rapids – As I mentioned above, we had a few popped inner tubes on our trip. Make sure you bring a sturdy inner tube and maybe plan to disconnect before going over rapids if you’re connected to a large group. It’s also good to make sure your group has a couple of extra inner tubes or larger ones that can hold more people in case there are some pops on your trip. 
• Go with a big group – Although I’m sure this trip would’ve been fun with a smaller group too, there’s nothing like enjoying a summer river float with a large group. It depends on what experience you’re after, but I enjoyed the fun party atmosphere of a large group while floating down the river. Even better if you bring water cannons so you can have a water fight with other groups. 
• Don’t get too intoxicated – Speaking of party atmospheres, it’s fun to drink on the river but it’s still a good idea to not go too overboard. Water activities and drinking don’t always mix well and you’ll want to have your wits about you in case you flip or get separated from the group. 
• Bring a dry bag that can hold everything you need – Everything gets wet when you’re on the river all day so it’s important to have a large enough dry bag to fit what you want to keep dry. Items like your car keys, wallet, phone, any snacks, and a sarong or lightweight towel, should all go in your dry bag. It’s not a bad idea to have a waterproof case for your phone as well since you’ll probably take it out periodically during the trip. 
• Slather on the sunscreen and bring plenty of water – This goes without saying but Sacramento gets HOT. It was in the high 90s F when we did our trip. I put on a ton of sunscreen before hitting the water and reapplied throughout the float. I also covered up with a sarong halfway through because my skin gets sunburned even with sunscreen on sometimes. In terms of water, Suneel and I brought a half gallon of water each to stay hydrated in between a beer or two.

Where to Go White Water Rafting on the American River

If you’re looking for something more adventurous than lazy tubing, the American River is also one of the best places in California to go whitewater rafting. 

There are three forks of the American River that are popular for whitewater rafting – the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork. 

You can expect Class III rapids for the South Fork, Class III-IV rapids for the Middle Fork, and Class IV-V for the North Fork of the American River.  

The main American River rafting companies in the area to go with for a whitewater rafting trip are OARS , American Whitewater Expeditions , and Raft Wet .

3 thoughts on “How to Lazy Float the American River (American River Tubing Guide)”

We’re thinking of moving from Washington to Sacramento, so I found this article when looking up places I could float if we did move.

I float the Nooksack river in North Western Washington, and we use frisbees as paddles they work fantastically! Petsmart has the best ones for this IMO, they’re usually $1-2/each, and have a small ridge so you don’t hurt your thumb holding on. How you explained the rapids and what not, I think they’d work well for this river too.

Thanks for the super thorough report, makes me a bit more at ease with the move knowing I can still do the summer activities I love.

Is there a fee to enter the American River or parking?

Hi Regina, there was a $5 parking fee when I was there last. Otherwise, there’s no fee to access the American River.

A Guide To The Most Iconic Riverboat Casinos In The US 

• MEET THE TEAM
• PRIVACY POLICY
• TERMS OF USE

Talk about casino destinations and you’ll most likely think of Las Vegas, Atlantic City or, if you are travelling outside the US, maybe Monaco or Macau.

Yet what are called “land based” or “bricks and mortar” casinos to differentiate them from the online versions are not necessarily on land or made of bricks and mortar.

We refer, of course, to riverboat casinos, a little slice of Americana that’s as American as Super Bowl Sunday or Thanksgiving turkey. Riverboat casinos conjure up images of the Mississippi and Mark Twain complete with white suit, top hat and cigar. There are more than 60 riverboat casinos operating in the USA and every single one of them has a story to tell. Here, we highlight a handful of the very best.

The Grand Victoria, Elgin

Our first stop is not on the Mississippi at all, but on the Fox River in Elgin, 50 miles north west of Chicago . Owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment, the Grand Victoria really is a slice of Las Vegas on the Illinois waterfront.  With more than 1,000 slots and video poker terminals and 36 tables, there’s a great choice of games.

If all that gambling whets your appetite, there are four dining options on board, including the highly rated Buckingham’s Steakhouse and Lounge.

Casino Queen, Marquette  

The Casino Queen would look like a lifeboat if it was moored alongside the Grand Victoria, but that is all part of its charm. It offers a more intimate and personalized experience, and although there are only eight tables, they host an intriguing variety of games that are not commonly found in land (or water) based casinos. If you know how to gamble online in the US , you’ve probably seen fusion blackjack and 21+3 at US online casinos. The Casino Queen gives you an opportunity to play them in real casino surroundings.

When you step ashore, there is an adjacent 31-acre entertainment complex with a variety of attractions and a huge choice of dining options.

The Amelia Belle, Amelia  

At last, we arrive in Louisiana, where the Amelia Belle lies nestled in the Avoca Island Cutoff waterway. This classic four-story riverboat looks like it has stepped straight out of a photograph from the turn of the 20 th century. When it is lit up at night, it takes your breath away.

At the tables, poker is the order of the day. The casino offers Mississippi stud, 3-card poker and Texas Holdem. There are also 800 slot games, while the Fanduel sportsbook has self-service betting kiosks, a wall full of television screens, and a huge video wall to show the biggest events.

Sam’s Town, Shreveport

On the opposite side of Louisiana, Sam’s Town could not be more different to the Amelia Belle. This floating leisure complex houses a hotel, health spa, sauna and live entertainment venue.

The casino offers more than 1,000 slots and 30 table games that include blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Let it Ride and Craps No More.

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) — “Bye bye, Jesus!” a child called out as the riverboat chugged away from shore into the Ohio River, a solemn bell tolling amid the thrumming of an old-fashioned sternwheel.

Two Catholic bishops on board, representing dioceses on each side of the river, took turns holding aloft the guest of honor — the consecrated Eucharistic host, in which Catholics believe Jesus is truly present in the Communion bread.

Scores of devotees watched reverently from the shore on Sunday — nuns and families with clusters of young children — fingering rosaries, uttering prayers, singing quietly. Some knelt on the gravel surface.

The event culminated three days of devotions in this small Ohio city, launched by a procession through downtown streets on a sweltering Friday evening, where hundreds of devotees passed bars, shops, vacant storefronts and the curious stares of residents in folding chairs.

Among those in the procession were seminarians in black cassocks, nuns in habits, girls in First Communion dresses, and members of lay orders in traditional garb. One girl’s T-shirt proclaimed, “Get holy or die tryin’.”

It’s just a snapshot of a wider project. Catholic pilgrims are in the middle of a two-month journey on four routes across the United States. They’re planning to converge on Indianapolis in mid-July for a climactic stadium gathering called the National Eucharistic Congress, the first such event in more than 80 years.

Everywhere, the center of attention is the Eucharistic host, held in a golden vessel known as a monstrance.

“The pilgrimage is a really exciting opportunity for us to literally walk with Jesus, like the apostles did,” said Zoe Dongas, one of a small group of “perpetual” pilgrims traveling an entire route.

Starting in May in New Haven, Connecticut, her group has processed through cities, ridden by boat to the Statue of Liberty and trekked through rural Pennsylvania in a heat wave. The group will travel from West Virginia across Ohio to Indianapolis, meeting up with pilgrims who started from California, Texas and Minnesota.

Organizers are hoping that — as with the child on the riverbank — the enterprise reinforces the core Catholic belief that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, and not just symbolized by bread and wine, as many Protestants believe.

Some have questioned the need for the event, and the congress’s $14 million cost — saying belief in the Eucharist is stronger than feared, that the event is only appealing to those already drawn to traditional piety and that it’s partly the byproduct of a political debate.

But Bishop Mark Brennan of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, West Virginia, said reinforcing Eucharistic faith is crucial.

“If that is weakened in our people, then they’ll be weakened in their response to Christ and to the service of God and neighbor that they’re supposed to offer,” Brennan said aboard the boat taking him and his counterpart from the Diocese of Steubenville downriver toward Wheeling.

If the scenes in Steubenville seemed like something out of another era, they are.

The last time a Eucharistic National Congress was held, it was in an era when urban Catholics thronged to massive devotional parades and stadium events. That kind of traditional piety began waning by mid-20th century.

But Steubenville, a Rust Belt city showing the wear of its post-industrial years, is a hub for some hoping to revive traditional piety. The region is home to a conservative Catholic university, a Catholic family camp and a cluster of religious orders.

This weekend, participants spoke of the Eucharist simply as Jesus.

The idea of taking Jesus out on a riverboat was natural in light of the assigned gospel reading at Sunday Mass, in which Jesus rides in a boat with his disciples and miraculously calms a storm, said Steubenville seminarian Sam Ivkovich.

“He preached from boats, so this seems fitting,” Ivkovich said on the wind-whipped Wellsburg Bridge, where he gathered with several devotees to kneel, sing and pray as the boat passed below.

The pilgrimages sprang from deliberations among U.S. bishops.

Their 2021 document , “The Mystery of the Eucharist in the Life of the Church,” arose amid debate over whether bishops should withhold Communion from Catholic politicians like President Joe Biden or Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Democrats who supported abortion rights. Following cautionary signals from the Vatican, the document ultimately did not directly address that question, though it called on Catholics to examine whether they align with church teachings.

Some bishops cited a 2019 survey that found most church members don’t believe Catholic doctrine on the Eucharist. Bishops devised a three-year focus on the doctrine, culminating in pilgrimages and the Indianapolis gathering.

Some researchers have cast doubt on the original survey’s phrasing.

A follow-up by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate in 2022 used multiple phrasings and found that 64% of Catholics expressed belief in Jesus’ presence in the Eucharist in at least one response. Virtually all Catholics who attend Mass weekly affirmed this belief, according to the Georgetown University-based center.

This raises the question of whether the pilgrimage and congress amount to “a solution in search of a problem,” said Steven Millies, professor of public theology at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He wondered if bishops’ real worry is over Catholics’ “lost sense of difference” from a society they have assimilated into.

In the early to mid-20th century, when Catholics were defined by growing communities of European immigrants and their descendants, they gathered by the scores of thousands for Eucharistic and other traditional devotions at landmarks like Chicago’s Soldier Field, Louisville’s Churchill Downs and Pittsburgh’s Forbes Field.

“This was a way of announcing to the rest of the United States, ‘We are here, and we are here in large numbers,’” Millies said. The rituals, he added, served as a reminder that while Catholics had arrived as Americans, they were distinct from their neighbors.

These mass piety events began to wane by the 1950s. The reformist Second Vatican Council of the 1960s spawned simpler liturgies increasing lay involvement, though today some are working to revive older ways . Catholics are more diverse while also facing an increasingly secular culture.

“Catholics aren’t the same as we were 100 years ago,” Millies said. “The world has changed around us. Eucharistic piety is one form of devotion in the Catholic Church. There are many others. It doesn’t speak to everybody.”

He also questioned the event’s timing.

“I would find it very hard to accept this is a coincidence this is happening in an election year,” he said.

Pilgrimage participants, however, spoke in personal and spiritual terms.

Katherine Ball of St. Clairsville, Ohio, who joined Friday’s procession with fellow members of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, dressed in its medieval black cape and veil, choked back tears as she spoke of how the presence of the Eucharist helped console her after losing her parents to cancer.

Weeks earlier, she said, she happened to drive alongside the well-marked van in which the perpetual pilgrims were traveling, with the host displayed in the monstrance. She stayed close to the van for some time, her spirits lifting as she recalled a saint’s writing that “Jesus never travels alone” but brings all of heaven into the Eucharist.

“I know that when I receive Holy Communion, I’m unified with my parents, and this is just a foretaste of heaven,” she said.
