KAYAKING

The Kern River is very well known for white-water rafting, however, kayakers have also found that the raging waters are a great place to try their Kayaking talent. The many obstacles in the Kern River just add to the eagerness and bliss when you reach the end of your run. The Annual Slalom Kayak Race is held in Kernville each year, and even was a one-time host for the 1972 Olympic tryouts.

RAFTING

White water rafting has become an ultimate extreme water journey. The Kern River, located only 3 hours north of Los Angles, is ready and waiting for those who dare. You can bring your own raft or take a guided tour, offered by commercial operators. Starting in March, the best times to brave the rapids are June, and July, although you may enjoy the excitement through September.

WINDSURFING

Windsurfing has become a very popular sport in the last decade. The winds at Lake Isabella tend to flow just right for that great windsurfing rush. A usual day on the Lake will give you winds from 30 to 55 miles per hour. The most popular spot is the beach behind auxiliary dam.
