Canoe, Kayak, and Swim
Kings River is the perfect place for you if you love to kayak. Trigger gap is fairly mild and calm, a great place for a beginner to kayak. You can rent supplies like canoes, kayaks, fishing kayaks, rafts, and paddle boards at Trigger Gap Outfitters. The prices for these range between 30-80$. You can even park at the canoe rental office for $3. This area is probably best for doing those kind of activities but it's also open to swimmers. The water is cool and clear all year long, but summer is the best time for swimming because the sun warms the water, and keeps you warm as you rest on the bank. An old bridge used to run across the river right near Trigger Gap Outfitters store. The water current where the bridge once was is more strong, so keep careful watch over your children and less experienced swimmers here. There isn't said to be anywhere specific that the water is best for swimming, the calm water near the store is probably the best because you don't have to be a strong swimmer, and don't have to be as watchful of everyone in the water (still watch though!). The banks surrounding Trigger gap are a great place to relax, collect cool rocks, or tan in the sun.
