The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in California are often tougher than in other states, so keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable.

Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this
is an area with plenty of rivers for that. No shortage of good hotels, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The river winds through the Northern Sierra Nevada and you get great scenery. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature
will make you glad you came. This stretch is mid length, good for a one day paddling trip. The natural beauty of California and the cool fresh water beats anything.
