Whitewater Rafting on California's Merced River
This
website was built and designed to provide information specific to the sport
of whitewater rafting to serve as an educational and informational resource
for guests, guides and the general whitewater rafting community.
Portions of this website were excerpted from California
Whitewater, a whitewater rafting guidebook written by Jim
Cassady and Fryar Calhoun. Other information was excerpted from The
Best Whitewater in California by Lars Holbeck and Chuck Stanley.
Visit the About the Book page to find out
how to order either one of these California Whitewater Rafting Guidebooks.
Commercial outfitters have been operating on the
Merced for years. If the experience and skills required to run this river
are above your capabilities, consider planning your rafting adventure with
a commercial whitewater rafting
outfitter. The details in this resource are intended to be used by experienced
whitewater boaters, and can be used to plan a whitewater rafting trip on
the Merced River.
