Healdsburg-Geyserville Road to Big Sulphur Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in California are often tougher than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The starting point is not too far from Clearlake, as you can see on the road map further down. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. This stretch of Little Sulphur Creek in California is 11 miles long and has been rated as a class IV-V+ section by American Whitewater. The nature scenery
of California and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your camp stove
too. The wild scenery of the Coast Ranges is great. No shortage of good hotels, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The Healdsburg-Geyserville Road to Big Sulphur Creek section is the only paddling section along Little Sulphur Creek.
