When is the best time to raft the Family Float?

Trips start going out April 1, but mid-May through mid-August is the most popular time to go. Early season and late season trips provide a milder experience than spring runoff in late May and June when the water is high. July through mid-August combines milder water with the warmest temperatures, which makes it the best time to go with young children.
