Kaweah River Rafting, One-Day Trip, Class IV+
The headwaters of the Kaweah River are located in the High Sierra among 13,000-foot mountain peaks. The Kaweah river plummets down one of the steepest drainages in California to our starting point a few miles from Sequoia National Park, in Three Rivers, California. The snowcapped peaks create a dramatic background for the enticing Kawaeh River. This 9-mile section of whitewater rafting California offers almost non-stop class IV Kaweah River rafting action. The Kaweah River runs fast and furious down such rapids as Power House, Cyanotic, Suicide Falls, Upper and Lower Slickies, and Holiday Hole. Just 3 hours from Southern California, the Kaweah River is ideally situated near the spectacular Sequoia National Park, with its ancient redwood groves, the impressive Kings Canyon, and Mineral King Park.
