About This Access Site
Kerchoff #2 Powerhouse is a whitewater access point on the San Joaquin River in Fresno County, California. This site serves as an entry or exit point for paddlers running whitewater sections of the San Joaquin River. The powerhouse location indicates this is in a foothill area where the river has more gradient and current than downstream sections, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers seeking whitewater recreation. Access at dam-related locations can sometimes be restricted or subject to water release schedules, so boaters should verify current conditions and any permits required before visiting.
