Some of the recommendations listed below could be as far as an hour away and might be what you plan to do on your way to or from Groveland. Consider the Charlotte your home base and do several! Ask when making your reservations for a picnic lunch and make a day of it!

Usually April through the end of August Whitewater River Rafting

Any day: Ward's Ferry Road
This is an absolutely stunning road that seems to cling to the cliffside as the view falls away to the beautiful Tuolumne river. We accidentally ended up on this road not knowing anything about it except that it went where we were going, Groveland. If you don't enjoy steep and twisty routes, this won't be fun for you, but if you love feeling all alone with with nature and wilderness, wild flowers and beautiful scenery, this is a trip worth taking---at least once! The Tuolumne River white water rafting haul out is at the bottom of the ravine and makes a lovely spot for a picnic.

We have explored and shared some fun, historic and beautiful routes that have become real guest pleasers. If you are planning a trip this way, give us a call, make reservations and let us know your interests and time frame, we can make some educated suggestions that will help smooth the way in your vacation planning efforts.

We're more than a one night stay! Browse our itinerary section for even more area activities!
