The South Fork American River

About the River
The South Fork of the American is considered a Class III River, and it is a perfect choice for
any rafter. Although the river is considered a beginner/intermediate river, even veteran rafters
come away from a trip on the South Fork excited and energized. The South Fork passes
though steep rugged soaring canyons and pastoral gently rolling hills; Pine and Oak forests,
rolling fields and rugged Chaparral. Nature brings its raw power to bear on this extraordinary
river, it is a truly awe inspiring and unforgettable experience.
What We Offer
This trip is an opportunity to cement your relationships with those close to you, and maybe
meet some new friends along the way. To make the experience the absolute best possible, we
have many options for you to choose from when you take a trip with us. We start with an
outstanding menu and a beautiful river front camp, but it doesn’t end there. We offer a full range
of camping services from sleeping out under the stars to basic tents, pads, cots; and even
roomy cabin tents. There warm showers and bathrooms in camp, along with a volley ball court,
several game tables, a campfire ring (where guides and guests frequently show off their skills;
in the past we have had: many musicians and fire dancers performing on overnight trips).
From simple rafting to whatever you need, we are here for you.
Our Season
People always ask: Is there enough water to raft? Always! The best part about the South Fork
is that it is dam controlled. Hydroelectric power plants upstream release water all year long,
allowing recreational boating all year long. Our season generally runs from May to October and
you will enjoy consistent flows all season long.
