The picture below is from early April. The only possible way to kayak or raft this would be during or immediately after a major storm. And the brush on the creek banks would likely be your undoing. I've never heard of anyone ever kayaking this creek. - Bob Burd BIGGER SIZE PICTURE HERE Submit Input: Your Name: Write or Paste Input here: Upload picture:      Input Submission Guidelines Current weather conditions at Arroyo Mocho River, California Local climate location: MOUNT DIABLO JUNCTION 8 miles away RAFTING TRIP OUTFITTERS There are no whitewater outfitters currently listed for this river.
