California whitewater - Pit River, Southern Cascade Range, Lassen County
Lassen
county,
Nubieber to Pittville section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV-V 24 miles
The natural beauty of California and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so
pack your camp stove. This section of Pit River in California is 24 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class IV-V section of whitewater. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. If you're a camper you can camp
at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The beautiful Southern Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. The Nubieber to Pittville section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. 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.
