PictureYankee Jims Bridge over the North Fork of the American River. PARC has proposed California Wild & Scenic protection for this 16 mile stretch of the North Fork from Iowa Hill Bridge to Upper Lake Clementine.
The Protect American River Canyon (PARC) Board Members extend to you an enthusiastic invitation to explore the American River Canyons for yourself and discover this area rich in biological diversity, Native American and Gold Rush history and exciting recreational adventure for all to responsibly enjoy and care for. The Auburn State Recreation Area, located along 48 miles of the North and Middle Forks from Auburn to Colfax and Foresthill in the American River Watershed, offers diverse recreational options and seemingly limitlessness opportunities for meaningful wilderness experiences in scenic picturesque canyons for everyone. Over 100 miles of trails, framed in the springtime by a rainbow pallet of wildflowers and butterflies, host world class endurance events and leisurely trail hikers, equestrians and mountain bikers. Both river forks attract whitewater enthusiasts from Class V adrenaline fans to Class 1 family boaters. Swimming and fishing are very popular seasonally. The Cave Valley Limestone Quarry walls offer a challenge to beginner and advanced climbers.  Charming picture perfect Lake Clementine offers year-round motor boating, paddling and lake camping.

PARC is a community-based non-profit organization located in Auburn that is dedicated to building American River community through collaboration and protection of the natural, recreational and historical resources for the North and Middle Forks of the American River Watershed.
