Local white water rafting industry bottoms out in drought
It’s not just farmers who get a sinking feeling during the drought. The local white water rafting industry has bottomed out as well. Only one local company is left in Three Rivers offering rafting trips down the Kaweah River in the scenic southern Sierra Nevadas. Once a beehive of rafting activity along the middle reach of the river, several years of drought have dried up interest in what was a spring ritual in these parts.
