Carson Falls is a Class V rapid located on the East Fork Carson River in Alpine County, California, marking the climactic final rapid of the Forks of the Kern whitewater section.

This technical rapid is part of an intense 4-mile stretch of concentrated hard rapids and requires prior Class IV rafting experience and strong swimming ability.

The rapid is typically run during spring and early summer months (April-August depending on snowpack) as part of guided rafting expeditions on this free-flowing river.
