Overview & Highlights
The "Bigwater” trip meets at 8:30am at our Sequoia Outdoor Center (SOC), located at 11316 Kernville Rd, and will return around 4:00pm that afternoon.
This stretch on the Lower Kern is the most popular One Day, Class IV river trip we run in California. The trip runs the fabled 12-mile, Class IV, second day section of our signature Overnight, Lower Kern "Sierra Escape" trip.
The river corridor is beautiful, the rapids fabulous, and the water temperature is about 70 degrees during the summer months. In addition to running about 10 Class IV and numerous Class III rapids, the trip stops at a popular "Jumping Rock" just downstream of Horseshoe Rapid where the group can jump into the river and cool off to their heart's content.
Lunch is provided over the course of the day along the river.

Changes to Trip Itinerary
During high water, low water, and some early or late season trips, it occasionally becomes necessary to move a trip to an alternate stretch of river that will provide a superior trip experience. Trip itinerary changes are rare, but not unheard of.
Wetsuits and Paddling Jackets may be REQUIRED on all of our trips through the end of May, and sometimes into the month of June due to high snowpack seasons. You may bring your own, however we can provide them for you for a nominal rental fee of $20.00/set.
