Garnet Dike is a popular boat launching and take-out site for rafting the Kings River, serving as a put-in point for the scenic ten-mile rafting run featuring Class III and IV rapids (typically running late April through mid-July).

The site offers restrooms and is conveniently located upriver from Kirch Flat Campground, making it accessible for both day users and overnight visitors exploring the challenging whitewater sections of the Kings River.
