River Rafting in California
River rafting is a major attraction in California. The most
popular California river rafting destination is the mighty
American River. The American River begins in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains and runs to the Sacramento River. The American River
splits into three forks before it converges. The North Fork, the
Middle Fork, and the South Fork each offer rafters unique
adventures.
The North Fork of the American River offers the most challenging
rapids on the river. It is fed by the runoff from the Sierra
Nevada Mountains in the early spring when the snow melts. This
runoff, mixed with the narrow canyons found downriver make for
some exciting and challenging Class IV rapids. Chamberlin Falls
Gorge, the most intense part of the American River, is found on
the North Fork. This fork of the river is only open for rafting
for a few months of the year, usually from April to the early
summer.
The Middle Fork of the American river is slightly easier to
navigate than the North Fork. Adventurous, physically fit
novices can try a guided tour on the Middle Fork. The Middle
Fork contains some of the most popular Class III and IV
rapids
in the state. Parts of this fork run through beautiful
2,000-foot tall canyons. The season for Middle Fork rafting runs
from April through October, giving rafters many months of the
year to enjoy the river.
The American River's South Fork provides a variety of rafting
pleasures. Part of the South Fork is the most popular river for
beginners in the country. Other areas of the South Fork offer
Class III rapids, perfect for providing a challenge to novice or
intermediate rafters. The South Fork is considered by many to be
the best place for families to enjoy California river rafting.
California river rafting is a great way to spend some time in
the summer. There are a wide variety of rapids, some for
beginners and some for the most seasoned experts.
