When you're paddling down a Coast Ranges river like this one you always get great scenery along the way
    too. 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. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national

Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other rivers for that.

A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots  
of people.
