Description:

The upper stretch of river has an average gradient drop of 50' per mile through a steep and narrow granite canyon for spectacular whitewater and great vistas -- when we have a moment! Turns are tight and technical; Chamberlain Falls is a thrilling drop

We board our river van and head for the river about 45 minutes away. En route your guides will present orientation and safety information

Get ready for excitement as we navigate our way through Slaughter Sluice, Chamberlain Falls and Staircase rapids.

We stop mid-day for a hearty lunch along the river and have time to enjoy the peace of the remote canyon.

Central California, One hour east of Sacramento near Auburn
Difficulty: Class IV, Advanced: Medium-High Intensity Whitewater
Available Daily, April to June (Depending on water levels)
Trips: 1 DAY: 11 miles (depending on water levels); lunch

Other Considerations:

Rafters ready for the North Fork are in good physical condition and possess prior Class IV paddling experience. We will cover advanced paddling, safety, and swimming techniques before beginning our run. Wet suits are required and are included in the price of the trip.

Responsible Action:

It’s our view that rivers are magical. They are the lifeblood of our state, and they provide a spiritual, environmental and economic boon to the communities they run through. We like to share that magic...

Our philosophy extends beyond just an attitude, or a viewpoint. We strongly believe that we have to not just talk the talk, but also walk the walk. In short, our company donates resources of all kinds – dollars, time and energy – into organizations, auctions and events that benefit our rivers, our communities and the people who live in them.
