Middle Fork American River - Class IV

1 day Middle Fork American River whitewater rafting trips, Class IV, May to September
Plus Combination Trips with the South Fork

2015 Update

All Middle Fork trips booked with EarthTrek will be operated by our neighbor and friends at O.A.R.S.

A deep forested canyon, crystal clear water and some of the wildest runnable rapids in California. All of this and more can be found on the Middle Fork American River. While some of the river is a relaxing but spirited Class II float, there are numerous Class III and IV rapids for whitewater excitement and thrills.

The highlight of every Middle Fork American River trip is the famous Tunnel Chute, a narrow Class IV+ cataract created by 19th century gold miners to divert the river and dry up the ancient bed to make the gold easier to find. Immediately following the Chute is a 90' tunnel that we leisurely float through. After the Tunnel Chute, rapid excitement continues, including the always challenging Kanaka Falls. The Middle Fork American River then mellows until we reach Ruck-A-Chucky Falls, a necessary portage. Our trip down the beautiful Middle Fork American River comes to a dramatic conclusion with another series of thundering Class III-IV drops.

We offer two ways to run the Middle Fork American River. Our most popular offering are combination trips where you can combine one or two days on the South Fork American with a day on the Middle Fork American River, thus allowing you to camp in comfort at our deluxe private camp and still enjoy the challenge of the Middle Fork American River. For those with limited time we also offer the Middle Fork as a one day trip
