Kern River Rafting, Biking, Camping, Kayaking, Climbing and more!

Mountain & River Adventures (MRA), nestled in the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains along the Wild and Scenic Kern River in Kernville, CA, offers some of the best river rafting trips on the Kern in Southern California! Located three hours from Los Angeles, and less than an hour from Bakersfield, the Kern River Valley offers many outdoor recreation options. With MRA, you can go white water rafting on the Kern, mountain biking, climbing, river and lake kayaking, participate in team building courses, hiking, snow shoeing, and cross country skiing.  MRA can help you "Adventure, Relax and Enjoy"!.

If relaxing along the Kern River is your thing, check out MRA's campground, located 10 miles north of Lake Isabella, CA.  Our campground offers 30 tent camping sites, modern bathroom facilities, volley ball courts, horseshoes, shuffle board or you can just relax in one of our many hammocks.  The MRA campground area serves as a beautiful riverside setting for weddings, retirement or birthday parties, and family or high school reunions.  Call us for details.

Other local amenities include birding, wildlife photography opportunities during our eco-tours on Lake Isabella, and nature viewing along our scenic mountain bike trails.

Mountain & River Adventures will provide your group with an outdoor adventure memory that will keep you talking for years to come. Call today to reserve your trip. At MRA, we can help you "Adventure, Relax and Enjoy"! 

We look forward to your respectful visit to our forest!

"To every one at MRA,

Our trip to Kernville has been over for a week but the excitement is still fresh in our minds.  I would like to thank John and every one in MRA for a fun and exciting weekend.  You have made our trip so much easier to plan by offering almost every activity we wanted.  Although we only had a small group of nine, we didn’t feel like we were treated any less.  In fact, we were very pleased and well taken care of by your guides, especially those who carried our snacks!  Great thanks to our guides, John, Shawn, Andrew, Logan and Kevin.  They made it fun, and kept us safe. 

A special thank you for the invitation to Rebecca Giddens welcome home party (held at MRA’s group gathering area). This was indeed a bonus for us. It was a thrill to meet an Olympic medallist and get the chance to see her medal. I am sure every one is very proud of her triumphant homecoming and we were honored to be part of the crowd!

As we have all returned to our desks, the excitement is still lingering in the air.  We look forward to the white water rafting season to begin in 2005 and we will be back again for more Mountain & River Adventures!"
