One of America’s steepest river runs, the Kaweah rumbles past the ancient giants in Sequoia National Park before plummeting westward through some of the wildest class IV+ rapids in California. The Kaweah is a wonderful nine-mile surprise that grips river runners from the start. This river isn’t for the meek or mild at heart. It’s a terrific run for experienced paddlers thirsting for a first-rate whitewater challenge. The Kaweah shows its character right away with fast and furious rapids like “Twist & Shout” and “Power House” and continues to twist and buck through big drops before sling-shooting you through “Suicide Falls” and “The Flood”.
Just as quickly, the Kaweah changes moods. It flattens out, pulling you gently through the town of Three Rivers, past huge polished granite slides worn smooth by the unyielding power of water over rock. These sensuous, slippery flumes, called “the Slickies”, provide unending fun as you paddle back into them and “surf” wildly for as long as you wish. You won’t forget this unique mark of the Kaweah.
