Managed by the USDA Forest Service
Located on the Middle Fork American River, this is the place to put in for the runs down to Ruck-a-Chucky, Mammoth Bar, or the Confluence. Though this site is primarily used by commercial rafting companies, individual users are welcome. Class II-VI runs exist between Oxbow and Confluence. Individuals are strongly encouraged to obtain a boating trail guide for the Middle Fork and be aware of your skill level before attempting any rafting/boating/kayaking run.
