South Fork of the American River
2 hours
The South Fork of the American River is the most popular rafting river in the Western U.S... let us show you why! Coursing a total of 20 miles through the scenic Sierra Nevada foothills, you'll discover fun spots to explore on this 2 mile easy section of river. Your trip starts at River Park Resort in Lotus, California at 1:00 PM. You will check in, sign release forms, and our guide will give you some basic information about what to expect on your rafting trip. We will then depart for a short van ride to the put-in which is located 2 miles upstream. After a safety talk at the put-in we will launch for this fun adventure and float through some easy rapids and past the famous gold discovery site. Plan to be back to your car at 3:30pm at the latest, although variable water flows can shorten or lengthen the trip. The South Fork is one of the only rivers in California to have dam released water throughout the summer, so there are always good flows for rafting and other recreation.
