April 2023
We typically start offering Half Day Upper Kern rafting trips towards the beginning of April but sometimes we can start as early as late March. During this time we focus on our Half Day Upper Kern, but if there’s a large group we can offer a Kernville Rapid Run or Full Day Upper Kern. Jump to May.
May 2023
As more snow starts to melt and the Upper Kern river rises, we continue offering the Half Day Upper Kern. We also have some dates for our Full Day Upper Kern and Kernville Rapid Run rafting trips. Jump to June.
June 2023
June is a transition month as the Upper Kern peaks and starts to have lower water flows. At this time the Lower Kern river begins to flow, allowing us to run our Two Day Lower Kern and other half and day trips. Jump to July.
July 2023
With the Upper Kern season over we now focus entirely on the Lower Kern through the end of the season. Jump to August.
August 2023
Some years the rafting season will end in August. It all comes down to snowpack and water flows. Jump to September.
September 2023
If we have a fantastic snowpack and great water flows, then the season will go through Labor Day. Our last Two Day would be the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, and then we would focus only on half and full day trips.
