River Description

The Pit 4 reach is a nice class IV reach with many long rapids.  The character is similar to the lower part of the Pit 1 reach.  The Pit Canyon is very pretty and Bald Eagle sighting are common. Spring releases will be occurring on the Pit 3,4 and 5 reaches as part of the new license that American Whitewater helped to negotiate.  Real time flow information will be available on the American Whitewater Website in 2008.   Also look to the release calendar on this page  for schedules flow releases.  Look to the release calendar page for release information in California and across the Country.

Look for a decription of the run in SIERRA WHITEWATER, MARTIN, 1974
