California Creeks - Alphabetic Table of Runs - Home

Here is a table of all creeks and rivers in this guide, including both recommended and not necessarily recommended runs. Recommended runs are those that most boaters of a given level would enjoy running at least once each year. Parenthesized minimums are for small rafts, 12' and shorter.
