Hoover's Hikes Exploring Knights Ferry California on the Stanislaus River Part 1
Spur of the Moment trip to go hike up in Knights Ferry California along the Stanislaus River.
Canoe Trip on the Lower Stanislaus River
A canoe or raft trip down the lower Stanislaus River is a great way to spend the day. It's very scenic, it has a few thrills, and it's safe for the whole family
North Fork Stanislaus River - Class IV+ Whitewater Rafting Trips
A well-kept secret, the North Fork of the Stanislaus River features exciting Class IV+ rapids in a high elevation alpine scenery and close proximity to groves of Giant Sequoia Redwoods in Calaveras Big Trees State Park. This river is best suited for athletic and adventurous rafters as intense and technical paddling is required.
Less than a minute from put-in, you'll crash through Class IV Beginner's Luck, which is an immense staircase of drops, descending a total of 15-feet. After that wake-up call, the whitewater keeps coming in tight chutes and boulder-choked passageways like The Claw and Wallet Slot.
When the mood strikes, we'll stop for lunch on a forested riverside bank. Back on the water, there are still many Class III-IV challenges waiting downstream. The final rapid is Sequoia Sluice, and because it's one of the biggest rapids, it serves as an appropriate climax to an intense day of rafting.

Pt2: Oakdale/Knights Ferry CA, Rodden/Orange Blossom Rd
In this video (check out part one for the beginning) I'm driving down Orange Blossom Rd. outside Oakdale CA. Farther east, it'll head into the small historic town of Knights Ferry, CA. As usual, this was filmed on my 400k+mile Toyota Echo Coupe's front license plate.
Knights Ferry has the longest covered bridge west of The Rocky Mountains, and sits at the end of a world renowned (to geologists) table mountain. The table mountain is essentially an ancient lava flow that filled a riverbed, and as the land around it eroded, the cooled lava stood above it making a mesa. It's one of the best examples of this in the world. the source of this volcanism is found many miles up Highway 108 (passes within half a mile of Knights Ferry) toward Sonora Pass, with an extinct volcanic neck called Dardanelle Cone. Sonora Pass is another fantastic road, but that's a later video, as of right now it's under the High Sierra Nevada snow.
Also, Knights Ferry has a good eat at The 1950's Roadhouse-- a '50's themed diner that's quite tasty. The day I went happened to be one of their biggest (if not the biggest) events of the year for them: a civil war reenactment. Normally-quiet streets were packed with cars, people, and motorcycles. Any other day it's much more subdued, and is good for hiking and kayaking the Stanislaus River that runs through it.
Crews reduce water levels in Stanislaus River to help in search for Matilda Ortiz
At midnight on Wednesday, officials began the process of reducing the flow of water from New Melones Dam, according to the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office. The effort was made to help in the search for 5-year-old Matilda Ortiz, who was swept away in the river over the weekend. Sadly, Wednesday afternoon, volunteers found the little girl's body.
