The most popular whitewater rafting in Southern California is our Lower Kern river trip. We have two-day and one-day Lower Kern River rafting trips departing daily through early September. This is an ideal family rafting vacation easily reached from all of Southern California.
Just a few hours from Los Angeles, the Kern River has some of the best rafting runs in America. We offer one- to three-day trips on all sections of the Kern River. If you are new to rafting, have youngsters in your party, or short on time, join us for one of our famous Lickety Split trips on the Upper Kern River near the historic old west town of Kernville.
Folks who have never visited the Kern Valley will find our Area Attractions and Common Questions pages helpful. If you are looking for a longer rafting vacation, our Other Trips page has information on river rafting vacations on the Salmon River in Idaho and the Rogue River in Oregon.
