Middle Fork American

Every trip is an adventure!

Middle Fork American, CA

Our one-day whitewater rafting trips cover over 20 miles of clear, cold river through a steep, remote canyon that is full of natural and human history, wildlife and exciting whitewater.

In the course of one day we will run one of California’s most extreme rapids, (Tunnel Chute, where the river drops 25 feet through a 100 foot long man-made slot in the bedrock), pass through a 300 yard long tunnel (blasted through the ridge by miners during the Gold Rush), portage the rafts around a breathtaking drop, (the jaw-dropping Ruck-A-Chucky Falls where the river plunges 30 feet over house sized boulders), and tackle numerous other whitewater challenges. Between rapids, we’ll float through the golden hillsides of California’s historic Highway 49 Mother Lode Gold Country near Auburn.

Trip members should have previous paddling experience and be prepared for a demanding and sometimes unpredictable trip – this is not the place for couch potatoes.

"Even though it was just for a day, your guides were like part of our family."

Andy Guillen
