American River

The American River descends from the Sierra Nevada and joins the Sacramento River at Sacramento. It was on the banks of the American River that gold was discovered in 1848.

Located a short drive from either Lake Tahoe or Sacramento, the American River Canyons are widely known as the most popular whitewater rafting destination in California.
