We used to float the Kings river from Goodfellow to Reedley Beach about 3 hours. It is a great way to cool off. The water is from snow melt and off the bottom of the dam so it is cold, usually about 42F. If the outside temp is not over 100F it can get cold fast if you cannot get up on your tube to get out of the water. Every year somebody(s) drowns in the rivers around here. I think we are up to 5 so far this summer, so stay out of the bushes. Have fun!Prepped for the annual river float tomorrow. Kayaks are ready, beer and ice bought, Mandarin Zkittlez Blackjack and strawberry cookies packed with a pipe and lighter. Arriving at 8, launch at 10 and float til the next boat launch area (about 4 miles). Gonna be way better than last year when we got dumped on for 3 hrs while paddling like riverboats!
