Located in California, Kern Rafting River Whitewater is just three hours north of Los Angeles in the Sequoia National Forest. They have over 60 miles of commercially-run whitewater. As a result this location is a beautiful place to visit for residents of LA and other local cities.

The Rafting River Whitewater season begins in April as the snowpack from the western slope of the highest peak in the continental United States, Mt. Whitney, begins to melt. Of course this snowmelt drains into the upper river basin and makes it way down to the Lake Isabella reservoir.

The water is then let out of the Isabella dam forming a 21-mile stretch of excellent whitewater. As a result the Lower Kern, rafting one and two-day whitewater trip into September can be taken.
