Celebrating 50 years of River Conservation Thank you to everyone who attended our 50th Anniversary Celebration at the General Gomez Art Gallery. We'll be posting a video of the event for all to watch who could not attend. |
The Auburn State Recreation Area is expanding vehicle access to the American River Canyon at China Bar to seven days a week on January 4th from 7:00 a.m. to sunset, twelve years after it first opened on January 1, 2010.
The Birdsall and Oregon Bar river access dirt/gravel roads are included. Wet weather could force temporary closure of these roads.
The area is very popular for fishermen, swimmers, picnickers, hikers, runners, equestrian and mountain bike riders. The area also provides important access for rafters paddling from the Confluence and kayakers refining their paddling skills at the Pump Station Rapids aka Auburn's Aquatic River Park.

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.
