rafted
Traveled by river
Rafted is the past tense of raft, meaning to travel or transport by raft—a flat structure of logs, planks, or inflatable material that floats on water: We rafted down the Colorado River.
Things that cluster together on water may also be said to have rafted: Debris rafted against the bridge pylons.
In geology, rafted describes material carried by floating ice.
