Whitewater Wednesday returns to Kernville, on the Wild & Scenic Kern River!  

It will be a fun-filled day of sunshine, water fights, soggy sneakers, and action packed rapids.

 

On this day only, the Kernville Chamber of Commerce, along with commercial rafting companies operating on the Kern River, will sponsor different trip options:

 

• The one-hour Lickety Split trip is an inexpensive introduction to whitewater rafting. The run is full of enough lively excitement to challenge just about everyone from tykes to grandmas.  One-hour Lickety Split Class I-III, $65/person. Run times are: 10:30am, 12:00pm, 1:30pm or 3:00pm.

​

• Two Hour - Sequoia Splash Run ~ BIG WATER AHEAD! Here’s our two-hour “SEQUOIA SPLASH” raft trip (Class II-IV) on the “Wild & Scenic” Kern, California’s premiere Whitewater River!  $125/person. Run times are: 10:00am or 2:00pm. 

 

Lunch is included with all trips. Extra lunches are available for purchase.  All proceeds go to the Kernville Chamber of Commerce to help fund community projects at the recreation and event center, community room and Christmas in Kernville, as well as maintenance of our community facilities.

​

All trips will be led by professional guides and equipment will be provided from the contributing outfitters.

 

Give this drenching treat to your employees, customers, family and friends, or another, unfortunately dry, loved one.  This is a mid week bonus!!  The water is going strong this year, making for some exciting trips. Minimum age is 6 years for the Lickety Split and 12 for the Sequoia Splash, with a minimum weight of 50 lbs for all. Everyone is required to wear Coast Guard approved life jackets which the outfitters provide. Swimsuits, shorts and a pair of old sneakers are the clothes for the day. We guarantee you’ll wet your pants on the Kern!

​

Class I – Very Easy – Flat water with some small waves and ripples

Class II – Moderate – Larger waves but no obstacles. Some splashing.

Class III – Difficult – Longer and rougher rapids. Some maneuvering is necessary in heavy waves and around obstacles. Paddling easily learned under guide’s expertise

Class IV – Very difficult – Faster pace with longer drops, powerful waves, precise maneuvering required around looming obstacles.
