Go for the rafting adventure (intermediate) on the South Fork American River -- 2 day trips, including lunch. Flowing through the heart of Mother Lode country, the river carries you past Sutter's Mill, where the California Gold Rush was ignited in 1848. But a history lesson isn't all you get on the South Fork. More than 50 rapids create this classic whitewater run. Taste the adrenaline with Adventure Connection!
