Paddling near Visalia, CA

Visalia anchors Tulare County at the hub of California's Tulare Basin, flanked by three major Sierra Nevada drainages — the Kings, Kaweah, and Kern rivers, all originating in or near Sequoia–Kings Canyon National Park. The result is a full spectrum of paddling, from calm flatwater at Lake Kaweah and Pine Flat Lake to Class V expedition runs on tributaries like Dinkey Creek.
