 Beginning
its journey to the Klamath River high in the Trinity Mountains,
the Scott River meanders through the wide farmlands of the Scott
Valley before descending into a canyon carved along the eastern
edge of the Marble Mountains.
In this granite-walled canyon, the Scott becomes whitewater.
Many rivers have a stretch of flatwater to warm up on...not
this one! At the end of the first pool, it begins immediately
with miles of Class III and IV rapids, fast and furious. As
the canyon deepens, the river intensifies, and for the next
few miles we scout and run a series of Class IV and V drops
and boulder gardens.
Running undammed for its entire length, the Scott River is
one of California's most scenic and exhilarating rivers. the
Scott offers some of the finest spring whitewater rafting in
the state.
