Calaveras/ Tuolumne county, Board's Crossing to Calaveras Big Trees section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-V     3 miles
  The average California whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The nature scenery of California and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. The Board's Crossing to Calaveras Big
    Trees section is one of many paddling sections in this river system. The Board's Crossing to Calaveras Big Trees stretch of Stanislaus River - North Fork in Calaveras/ Tuolumne County is 3 miles long and it is classified as a class III-V section by American Whitewater. The campgrounds
here at Stanislaus River - North Fork are pretty good. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that.
