Whitewater Wednesday on the Kern River

Overview

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, $75/person. Run times are: 10am, 11am, 12:30pm, 1:30pm 3pm or 4pm. Your requested reservation time is approximate.

Two Hour "Double Lickety" is also available for $100/person. Double the Lickety, Double the fun!

Lunch is included with all trips. If you have dietary restrictions, please bring your own lunch. All proceeds go to the Kernville Chamber of Commerce to help fund community projects at the recreation and event center, community room, 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.

Minimum age is 8 years old. This activity is NOT recommended for those with physical limitations. 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.
