Stunning rock walls and turquoise water.

A delightful riverside lunch as we relax and enjoy the quiet of the day.

The North Fork American River provides fun yet challenging whitewater rafting. These trips are available in the spring when the free-flowing river is getting ideal flows from the snowpack in the Sierras. They are not for first-time rafters, and swimming skills are required.

Activity itinerary

We meet in Auburn, California in the morning and depart to the put in near Colfax. The shuttles are off-road so we have top notch vans to get you there safely. Upon arrival you will see what makes this river so special, the water is emerald green and there are amazing rocks lining the banks of the river. The water is typically cold (it is snowmelt) so depending on water levels and air temperature, wet suits may be mandatory. The rapids are close together, and action packed with big drops and large boulders in the river to avoid. The Chamberlain Falls run has many Class 4-4+ rapids and is a must do for any adventure seeker!
