California Whitewater Rafting Guidebooks

Portions of www.california-salmon.com were excerpted from California Whitewater and The Best Whitewater in California. Both books can be purchased on-line or may be found in local river stores.

California Whitewater was written by Jim Cassady and Fryar Calhoun. Jim is a world renowned expert and a pioneer of whitewater rafting. This book provides a mile-by-mile, river descriptions, and detailed logistical information for each river. You can purchase a copy of California Whitewater or any of the other river guides coauthored by Jim Cassady from Pacific River Supply .

The Best Whitewater in California was written by whitewater experts, Lars Holbek and Chuck Stanley. This book was written more for kayaking than rafting. However, the book does state which rivers can and cannot be rafted. The Best Whitewater in California has detailed logistical information for 180 rivers throughout California. To purchase a copy of The Best Whitewater in California visit your local river store or buy it on-line from The River Store in Lotus, CA.
