Hydration was key this holiday weekend on the American River with an alcohol ban in effect.
Marzan said alcohol plus the heat often leads to dangerous situations like drownings, but most people have left the booze behind this Labor Day weekend.
"I am excited to just chill out because I've had a very packed week," said Aiden Evans, who was with his family and friends getting ready to float down the river.
"I am nervous about the rapids because I've never done this before or know how it is going to feel," Hatfield said.
In fact, it is so shallow in some parts that county park rangers pulled their patrol boat from the water.
Nunez and Marzan said both of their agency's water rescue teams are trained to navigate these conditions, but both were standing by outside of the water and ready to respond if something happened.
Nunez told CBS13 that it appears more people are obeying the rules and wearing their life vests. He has also seen a noticeable difference in the Clay Banks area, where they recently posted signage prohibiting people from diving into the water.
It has cut down on the number of rescues in this area this summer, with zero rescues for the holiday weekend on the entire American River by noon on Labor Day.
