Middle Fork Cosumnes
This is a classic early spring run, superior to many better-documented runs, although it hasn't
been listed in a guidebook since Charles Martin's Sierra Whitewater in 1974. This stretch
provides a mix of relatively benign class III-IV rapids, plus some intriguing low-elevation granite
scenery. Its only defect is frequent (but passable) willow gardens. Because of this, and a narrow
streambed, this run can be hazardous at high flows.

Sespe Creek
Sespe Creek is legendary amongst Southern California boaters. First run by Doug Tompkins, Yvonne Chouinard, and Royal Robbins in the early 80's, it has since been successfully navigated by only a dozen or so boaters. Several trips have been interrupted or aborted due to rising water or insufficient skills. By Charles Foster
