California’s Forks of the Kern is the best multi-day class V rafting trip… well, anywhere. The trips are three-days in length and take visitors through the heart of the Golden Trout Wilderness Area.

The Forks of the Kern

Everything about the Forks is incredible: from how you get to the river (boats and gear have to be packed in by mules) to the amazing side-hikes that lead to awe-inspiring waterfalls, this trip is simply life changing. The whitewater can’t be beat, with class IV drops that roll on for eternity only interrupted with stout class V, this trip is definitely for this who want big whitewater.

And the river canyon? Let’s just say we hope you get a chance to look round between paddle strokes. Phenomenal granite walls scratch at the sky. The famous Needle Rocks, nature’s towers, hover over the river like a sacred guardian.

As trees sway in a light breeze in 90-degree weather, you may wonder if this truly is what life is all about. Yes, we think so, and that’s why we are extremely proud to offer this trip to our customers. Contact us to book your trip – you won’t regret it.
