Kayaks may be rented from either the

Bear Valley Adventure Company or up at Lake Alpine. The Adventure Company has all the noodles and tie-downs for a trip out to Spicer or Union/Utica. Whitewater kayaking is more desperate, obviously. The North Fork of the Stanislaus has some Class 5 sections. I'll get the www's on OARS, Zephyr and the rest of the guide services in a sec.
