2 Day-Wilderness Run (Upgrade)

Our 2 day trips on the South Fork of the American are fun-filled adventures through the rolling foothills of California's Mother Lode country. The 20 miles of river between Chili Bar and Folsom Lake contain over 50 rapids including Meat-grinder, Triple Threat, and Troublemaker, as well as

the numerous rapids of the famous American River Gorge. The rapids range in difficulty from Class II to Class III+, making South Fork trips ideal for first-time rafters, yet still exciting enough for seasoned veterans. Our two-day South Fork Wilderness trips camp along an isolated stretch of the river that has no vehicle access. Meals are prepared by our guides and after a campfire, you will be serenaded to sleep by the sound of the river. There is often a delay on the second morning of your trip, as we wait for the upstream water releases, so be prepared for a relaxing morning. Paddle and oar rafts are used on Wilderness trips. In the paddle rafts, four to seven paddlers form a paddle team and, following the instructions of a guide who sits in the rear of the raft, propel the boat through the rapids using canoe-type paddles. Previous experience is not required.
