No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling spots. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so you'd
better keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. 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. There are campgrounds quite near the river where
you can camp. The river winds through the Central Sierra Nevada and you get great scenery. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
