13. Boating The Forks Of The American River Guide to help boaters plan trips on the three forks of the American River in California. Includes sections on outfitters, safety, regulations, and river boating information for each fork. http://www.netwiz.net/~act/BOATING.HTML

Boating the Forks of the American River This guide is presented to help boaters plan trips on the three Forks of the American River. Conditions described here have been updated for the 1998 season but are subject to change. Boaters should check field conditions and verify current regulations. LOCATION The Forks of the American River described here are selected reaches of the North, Middle and South Forks in Placer and El Dorado Counties in California. Nearby communities include Auburn, Colfax, Foresthill, Greenwood, Coloma, and Placerville. Jump To: Safety Regulations Outfitters Contacts River boating information for: North Fork American River Middle Fork American River South Fork American River SAFETY The safety precautions which apply to white water boating on other rivers also apply to the Forks of the American. Wear life jackets, don¼t boat while intoxicated, and scout potential problem areas. Further, treat the rivers with the respect due their powerful natural forces. Such common sense will avoid most problems. Geology on the South Fork: Gunsight Rock Pay particular attention to flow volumes. Flows either too high or too low can cause problems for the boater. For example, high flows may carry boats into trees which trap and hold them underwater. Low water may be rocky and cause excessive delays. The best flows are somewhere in between, and are subjectively determined according to the type of craft and the skills and preferences of the boater. The flow volumes suggested here have been run by experienced boaters who consider them good, yet the flows listed are not intended to suggest objective limits to safe boating. Further, flows can change quickly, especially on the Middle and South Forks where releases from dams change throughout the day for hydropower generation.

Enforcement officers of the Agency are on the water to assist boaters as well as to enforce laws and to provide control when necessary. Every officer of the Agency has the authority to stop and board any vessel subject to the State Boating Act. They may issue citations or, when necessary, they may arrest, on sight, without warrant, any person they see violating any provisions of the Act. Most Agency vessels may be recognized by the orange and green stripes near the bow and the words WILDLIFE RESOURCES on the sides; however, unmarked vessels are also used. Boaters who are signaled to stop must do so immediately and maneuver in such a way that the officer may come along side or come aboard. TWRA officers monitor marine radio channel 17 and can also be contacted through the regional TWRA dispatcher at the toll-free number.
