Kernville is an ideal place for fun and safe Kern whitewater rafting in California. This waterway runs right through the middle of this quaint western town making it one of the most easily accessible rivers in the world.

Fed by Mt. Whitney’s snow melt, the water then passes through the scenic Sequoia National Forest. The Kern is the only major river in the Sierra Nevada mountains that flows from North to South. It drains out just northeast of Bakersfield.

SoCal’s slew of waterborne activities take place just north of historic Kernville, Ca. There are many different sections of the Kern that are available for recreation.
