Daniela and Becca were truly awesome!!! Our party of 8 had the best time. They were incredibly experienced guides and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the river. The hospitality at Mother Lode was top notch - we were very well fed and the staff was accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend them!!!!
I was continuously grateful Mother Lode was the company we completed our run with. They were the perfect mixture of laid back and incredibly smart and competent. They ensured we had a great time and were patient and attentive to our kids as well. They navigated a very busy river to ensure we had runs to ourselves and we all had a blast. I highly recommend them. Matt and Maggie were the best!!
We took a group of 18 people on the river and had a SUPER fun time!! We arrived a little early so the owner gave us a tour of the grounds including showing us smashing pots that the Native Americans used to crush acorns and teaching us about the history of the area. They also provided the BEST lunch for us before we left on the river.
We had a FANTASTIC time with MotherLode rafting company for our staff training day! The people they have on staff are so great to work with. We had Daniella and Jake as our guides and they were so knowledgable about the river and made us feel safe the entire time. Greg, the owner was one of the nicest guys we have ever met. They supplied us with great gear and the boat and equipment were top of the line. It was an incredible experiences and we will be back!
This spot is absolutely wonderful! The staff, from the office to the drivers to the camp/activity staff members, are totally phenomenal! They're interactive, welcoming and they truly care that you have an outstanding experience. The ropes course was perfect for team building and personal growth. Ropes consists of Leap of Faith, Catwalk, Zip Line and Trust Walk. Food was plentiful and delicious. They provided coolers to house the snacks we brought. The permanent canvas tents all had bunk cots and there were (7) 4 person tents and (2) 8 person tents. The restrooms were clean and they have actual toilets. The showers were a bit on the cool side, however we had a large group so it may have been too many showering in a short period of time. I highly recommend this location for overnight trips whether your group is large or small.
