Fresno
county,
Vermillion Dam to Mono Diversion section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV(V) 1.5 miles
If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so better not forget that many runs in this state are not easy. This is the only paddling section along Mono Creek. The wild scenery of the Central Sierra Nevada is great. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The scenic beauty of Fresno County and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while have a lot
of people coming here. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that. This is a somewhat short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. This stretch of Mono Creek is 1.5
miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV(V) section. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
