ACTION WHITEWATER ADVENTURES

 

Cascading through the scenic foothills of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, the South Fork of the American River is a near perfect white water run. This is the river where James Marshall's gold discovery started California's famous 1849 gold rush, and today the South Fork is California’s most popular white water river. This white water rafting trip combines the river’s natural beauty, rich historical background, and exhilarating rapids into one great whitewater vacation experience.

South Fork consists of a upper and lower section both offering great rapids and beautiful scenery. The upper section of the American River quickly becomes a rollicking ride over countless rapids such as Meat-grinder, Racehorse, Triple Threat, and the infamous Troublemaker  

While the lower section or the American River “The Gorge" becomes narrower and deeper as it is squeezed between sheer rock walls and strained through numerous rocks and boulders as it plunges through several famous rapids, including Fowler's Rock, Satan's Cesspool, Hospital Bar, Bouncing Rock, and several others.
