About This Access Site
Kerchoff #1 powerhouse is a whitewater access point on the San Joaquin River in Fresno County, California. This site provides access to a section of river known for whitewater paddling and is located near the powerhouse facility. The access point serves paddlers looking to run whitewater sections of the San Joaquin River in this region. As with many powerhouse-adjacent access points, water conditions can be influenced by power generation operations, so paddlers should be aware of potential flow changes and schedule their trips accordingly.
