river kayaking
Current-riding small boat
River kayaking is paddling a kayak on rivers rather than lakes or open water.
The term usually implies navigating moving water with currents, rapids, or other challenges: We spent the weekend river kayaking in Colorado.
It encompasses everything from gentle float trips to technical whitewater descents.
