AUG 11-13: RMS Pacific Chapter Kern River Trip 

Deadline to Register: August 7

The River Management Society Pacific Chapter is pleased to host an August trip on the Kern River just outside of Bakersfield, CA. Members and nonmembers alike are welcome to join the fun, experience the magnificent Kern, enjoy chats and potluck meals, and learn more about the River Management Society.

About the Kern:

The Kern River is one of the few river systems in the Sierra Nevada that flows in a north/south orientation. Congress added the North Fork to the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers system in 1987. The South Fork begins in the Golden Trout Wilderness east of Cottonwood Pass on the Inyo National Forest and flows south into the South Sierra and Domeland Wilderness areas on the Sequoia National Forest. The river possesses an astounding array of scenic, recreational, fish, geological, historical, cultural, and ecological values.

Trip Basics:

Camping accommodations are available at the US Forest Service campground or host–and RMS Pacific Chapter Vice President–Leigh Karp’s cabin. Shuttles will be arranged day of each trip. All meals will be on your own. There are no other costs except if you do not have your own boat and need a space in a paddle raft; the cost of a rented raft will be split among the rafters. More information about camping, including maps, and a link to recreation.gov are available in the trip packet.

Registration:

The trip is open to RMS members and nonmembers. If you’re not already a member, we encourage you to learn about the benefits of membership and join online.

Learn more about floating logistics, meals, gear, and accommodations in the trip packet.
