CLASS II-III 23.6 miles
This stretch of Trinity River in California is 23.6 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. The natural beauty of California and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water attract people from near and far. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The Pigeon Point Campground to Cedar Flat stretch is one of many
paddling stretches in this river system. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
The wild scenery of the Klamath Mountains is great. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside California you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners.
