History and Excitement!

Jul 2014 • Family

Rafting on this fork of the American River from just about any company is going to be a day of fun and adventure. The highlight? Tunnel Chute rapids, where the gold miners actually blasted the tunnel to divert the river.

Middle Fork River Run

Aug 2017 • Couples

I have run the middle fork several times in the past. I went this year with "WET" the company has great guides, try to get on with DAX he is a real class act. Will teach you about rafting and keep you safe but also is really knowlegable about the local history, going back to the gold rush, the local wildlife of the river and other rivers in US.
The river geography has changed after the rains last winter and it pretty crazy up at the tunnel chute which may teach you a lesson you are not ready for.
Overall, a real fulfilling day.
