Whitewater recreation abounds in Siskiyou County - everything from simple rafting trips for families to difficult, multi-day trips down challenging waters.

Some guided trips offer parents, grandparents and children a galvanizing vacation that draws families together. Children as young as three will delight in the excitement of "running" playful Class II rapids, yet older children can learn to paddle an inflatable kayak.

More difficult water appeals mostly to expert rafters and kayakers, and several guide companies offer classes and even multi-day trips on the area's most energizing waters.

In short, there's something for everyone on Siskiyou County's whitewaters - it's pure fun waiting to happen.
