Kings River

PLEASE NOTE: We offer our KINGS RIVER trips in association with our sister outfitter.

Originating high in the mountains of central California near Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Park, the Kings River  is one of the most scenic rivers in the West.  With no upstream dams to spoil its natural beauty,  the Kings river offers an excellent whitewater experience.

A big water river without the technical difficulty of the Tuolumne or Merced, our Kings river trips are suitable for both the first timer and the advanced rafter. Later in the season, when the water level slows down, the Kings river is great for families with kids as young as 6 or 7 to participate.

Being centrally located in California, the Kings is convenient for guests in the Central Valley and Southern California.
