Pit
River DescriptionThe Pit 5 reach offers both a class III run and a Class V run. The Class V run begins just below the Pit 5 Dam. The first rapid below the dam is very brushy. This rapid can be avoided by putting in below. If you do not wish to paddle the class III section, you can take out at the Bridge in Big Bend. The Class III section begins at the bridge in Big Bend. Take out is just above the Pit 5 powerhouse. 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 is now available on the American Whitewater Website since mid 2008. Also look to the release calendar on this page for scheduled flow releases. Look to the release calendar page for release information in California and across the Country.
