The nature scenery of California and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. The Mountain View Road to Navarro River stretch of Rancheria Creek is 11 miles long and is a class II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. If you're coming from Ukiah it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get |
lost. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. If
| you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside California you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The Coast Ranges scenery is wonderful. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This section has enough mileage for an overnight | |
|
trip, so pack your camp stove. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well.
Briefly about the general area: Montgomery Woods State Park is a pleasant place to check out on a
wonderful day, and Ham Canyon is without doubt a pleasant place to stop at. Man, is there a heap of cool things to do in the Coast Ranges. Rancheria Creek is not far at all from Boonville, and visiting Hendy Woods State
Park is a perfect thing to do. This river is so good. At Rancheria Creek through the days of summer highs are in the 60's. All through the moonlight hours it's typically in the 40's.
