The waters are flowing this year, and the Kern River is no exception! 🌊 Only an hour drive from Visit Bakersfield, it's perfect for those looking for a whitewater rafting adventure! 🛶 Due to high water levels, we suggest visitors use a commercial rafting company to stay safe on the river. 💧 📍 Kern River Conservancy 📷 @sierrasouthmtnsport on IG | Visit California
