Hobo Rapid is a Class III rapid located on the Lower Kern River's "Jungle Run" section near Kernville, California, serving as a popular finishing rapid for half-day rafting trips.

The rapid features two main hazards—a large pour-over on river right and a sticky pour-over on river left—requiring boaters to navigate carefully between them or stay left of both features, with the left channel being the safer option at most water levels.

This rapid is accessible via commercial rafting outfitters operating in the area, with nearby camping and facilities available at Hobo Campground and other Forest Service sites along Old Kern Canyon Road.
