Kayak the Central Sierra

Central Sierra Paddling Guide

California’s Central Sierra is home to some of the most varied, dynamic, and world-renowned landscapes you’ll find just about anywhere. From Yosemite’s granite canyons to Mono Lake’s unique moonscape to June Lake Loop’s tranquil fishing holes – you could easily spend an entire season paddling this region alone. Pack your boat, your tent, and your favorite crew and head out for a weekend to remember on these all-star waters.
