California whitewater - Trinity River, Coast Ranges, Trinity/ Humboldt County
Trinity/ Humboldt
county,
Hawkins Bar to Weitchpec section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II 39 miles
The nature scenery of Trinity/ Humboldt County and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so better not forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The Coast Ranges scenery is wonderful. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Hawkins Bar to Weitchpec stretch is just one of them. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem
but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This stretch of Trinity River in California is 39 miles long and it is classified as a class II section by American Whitewater. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there
are lots of good rivers for that around here. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, perfect for a real wilderness adventure.
