Running through Sequoia National Forest and Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, the Kings Wild and Scenic River provides spectacular scenery and whitewater rafting and kayaking, and America Outdoors outfitters can definitely enhance your overall experience with their exceptional trips!
This river includes the entire Middle and South Forks, which are largely in Kings Canyon National Park (although you should be sure to check out the river on the Sequoia National Forest—just as spectacular). Beginning in glacial lakes above timberline, the river flows through deep, steep-sided canyons, over falls and cataracts, eventually becoming an outstanding whitewater rafting river in its lower reaches in Sequoia National Forest. Geology, scenery, recreation, fish, wildlife and history are all significant aspects.
