Rafting

Sierra South will celebrate its 35th year in 2019, as the premier outdoor adventure outfitter in Southern and Central California. Join us for world-class whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Wild & Scenic Kern River; lake kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding on Lake Isabella, and rock climbing in Sequoia National Forest.  We operate the oldest, largest, and most experienced whitewater kayaking school in Southern California.

Centrally located 3 hours from LA in the river town of Kernville, with a view of the Kern River from the deck, our brick-and-mortar outfitter’s store stocks gear, clothing, and gifts for paddling and mountain sports adventures. Don’t forget to also shop at our online River Store, where an actual person who knows paddling will handle your order and/or answer the customer service line.

We live and love what we do.  We would love to share it with you. It’s good for your soul!

We are proud supporters of the Kern Valley River Council, the annual Kern River Festival, Keepers of the Kern, and Kern River Streambed and Park Restoration Project.
