This was confusing, so I edited it. The article spoke of a "town" that was not mentioned anywhere in the article, so I edited it out after the following research. I went to the links and there isn't a town of "Kaweah River" that seems to exist -- there might be a town somewhere in what the link refers to as "Kaweah country" but its name is unclear. If someone with more knowledge cares to clean this up, that would be welcome .

Further expansion
I found a collection of astounding webpages that some willing editors may be able to utilize to expand the article:
I restored the geobox from the infobox conversion since there are many fields that infobox does not cover: watershed, min/max discharge, elevation, and support for both a map and leading image. Also, the arrangement for the source & mouth coordinates can be more neatly formatted in the geobox, and support inline references.
External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on
Kaweah River. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit
this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

"The Kaweah River originates along the Great Western Divide, a chain of 13,000-foot (4,000 m) peaks in the middle of Sequoia National Park that separates its watershed from the Kern River drainage further east." - what "its" refers to here is unclear; suggest rewording slightly to make that more clear
"The Kaweah River flows southwest, paralleled by Highway 198 in its narrow canyon" - maybe add "to the" or "in a southwestward direction"
Think these all need to be tweaked for grammatical matching: "Mill Creek continues west", "making a wide loop around Visalia before becoming Cross Creek north of Goshen, from where it flows south", "Kaweah River continues southwest", "Cross Creek, which flows south" - these should all be "Xward" or "to the X" (where X is north/south/etc)
"The length of the Kaweah River from the confluence of the Middle and Marble Forks, to the bifurcation at Mill and Packwood Creeks, is 33.6 miles (54.1 km)." - could be rewritten with less verbiage, and with less separation between the subject and main verb ("length... is")
"Mill Creek, the larger of the two distributaries, flows for 25.1 miles (40.4 km) from there west to Cross Creek, for a total distance of 58.7 miles (94.5 km).[2][n 1] " -phrased awkwardly, particularly "from there west to Cross Creek"
"iconic yellow mariposa lily, Calochortus luteus, which has been specifically noted in the Dry Creek tributary watershed.[20]" - what makes it iconic, and why is that worth mentioning here and in this article in particular?
Looks like the lake picture needs to be shifted down a bit (at least in Chrome browser).
"The Kaweah River watershed was originally inhabited by the Yokuts people of the Central Valley," - obviously implied, but worth noting that they're an indigenous people
"This was important because the capacity of the main channel of the Kaweah River is just 5,500 cubic feet per second (160 m3/s), and even less in its smaller downstream branches;[45]:67–223 however, the river's peak flows can be much higher, with a record of 80,700 cubic feet per second (2,290 m3/s) in the 1955 flood.[46]" - get rid of the semicolon and make this two sentences
"The majority of people come to visit the Giant Forest, but some also visit the Kaweah River for boating, fishing and swimming" - this statement should probably be supported by a direct citation
It should be, right? Since it's basically a portal for viewing USGS topo maps, which I would consider authoritative. Shannon [

@
Ceranthor: I'm almost done, except for the references. Still trying to find a couple of alternative sources. I did leave a few questions for you up there. Thanks! Shannon [

This river, based on many of the photos included, appears to now be more of a stream, than a river. How does that get wound into the article to reflect the current reality, rather than posterity?
