Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in California tend to be more challenging than the national average, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The beautiful scenery of Alameda County and the water flowing gracefully down Alameda Creek are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with not
    too many other rivers for that. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The Sunol to Niles Junction Close to Fremont stretch is the only paddling stretch
along Alameda Creek. The Sunol to Niles Junction Close to Fremont stretch of Alameda Creek in California is 4.3 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III section.
