California whitewater - Rancheria Creek, Coast Ranges, Mendocino County

Mendocino county, Mountain View Road to Navarro River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II     11 miles
  The wonderful Mendocino County scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. The Mountain View Road to Navarro River section of Rancheria Creek is 11 miles long and it is classified as a class II section by American Whitewater. If you're coming from Ukiah it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. When you're paddling down a Coast Ranges river like this one you always
    get great scenery along the way too. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it
an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Mountain View Road to Navarro River stretch is one of them. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good spots for that around here.
