Action awaits on this historical trip on one of California’s most popular rivers! This run offers 9-12 miles of whitewater excitement. Travel through the golden foothills as splashes of cool mountain water invigorate and awaken you. In 1848 the South Fork of the American River changed the world when gold was first discovered in the stream bed. The California Gold Rush was born. Today folks are still attracted to the region, not for its gold but for its whitewater rapids such as the Class III “Meat Grinder”, "Tripple Threat", and "Troublemaker". Fun-filled class II rapids continue throughout the day with something new around each bend. On this tour guides prepare a rejuvenating lunch allowing time to relax and sun bath. Join us on an extraordinary adventure for all on our South Fork American- Chile Bar run. With beautiful foothill scenery and fun splashy rapids, all in an area rich in history, this river is the perfect escape on a hot summer day.

This wilderness whitewater run offers some of the best-advanced whitewater in the state. Rapids start out from the get-go, as boats soar over the beautifully quartz-lined river bed. Within the first mile and a half, you’ll run one of the biggest rapids of the day, the legendary “Tunnel Chute”. In 1889 gold miners blasted out this chute and tunnel in order to mine the pre-existing river bed. This rapid makes this advanced run a trip you’ll never forget. Halfway through, the river slows down creating perfect opportunities to swim, play games, and absorb the warm summer sun as your guides fix a gourmet lunch on a sandy beach. The trip ends with more high adventure rapids as the river gradient steepens for an exciting finish. Steep drops await, technical boat maneuvering is a must, as you and your crew jet through the rapids. Don’t hesitate to come on this classic California whitewater adventure. You’ll be glad you did. - If looking for an exciting wilderness experience look no further!
