Recreation
Guests can fish, swim, kayak or whitewater raft in the Kings River. The river is swift and cold and can be dangerous at peak flows in April through June. Enter the river at your own risk. The river becomes tranquil in late summer and fall. The section of the Kings River from Garnet Dike to Pine Flat Lake is open to fishing year round with a two fish limit. A California fishing license is required. There are trails on both the north and south side of the river for hiking and horseback riding and roads for off-road vehicles. The area is great for wildlife viewing, bird watching, star gazing, and artistic pursuits such as painting and photography.
Natural Features
The cabin sits along the beautiful Kings River. In the spring, the region is ablaze with wildflowers and high water attracts whitewater boaters. The Kings River is classified as a Wild and Scenic River, and is within the spectacular Kings River Gorge, one of the deepest canyons in the United States. The cabin is also far away from the lights of any city or town, offering a dark and starry night sky.
