Whitewater Rafting

Cascading down from the Sierra Nevada runs the West Coast's most popular whitewater resource - the South Fork of the American River. An intermediate (Class III) river, the South Fork American River is suitable for kids 7 to 75! Numerous professional outfitters offer trips ranging from short half-day jaunts on up two-day adventures. The South Fork winds it's way through the heart of the Mother Lode as it passes abandoned mines, tailings, flumes and other artifacts from the Gold Rush era.
