California whitewater - San Antonio, Santa Lucia Range, Monterey County

Monterey county, Above and down to Mission San Antonio de Padua section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II     10.7 miles
  The wonderful California scenery and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. This section of San Antonio in California is 10.7 miles long and is a class II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. There are no other sections to paddle
    along San Antonio than the Above and down to Mission San Antonio de Padua section. The Santa Lucia Range scenery is wonderful. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so pack your sleeping bag. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. A bit
of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
