The All-Outdoors Whitewater Rafting California River Blog

The Auburn Dam has been the subject of heated debate for too many years. Now, with the river scheduled to be re-routed back to its natural course within the next couple years and the diversion tunnel set to be re-filled, proponents of the dam still won’t give up.

In a surge of protest and in the spirit of self-preservation, the river took matters into its own hands last week as it spilled over the coffer dam built to divert its waters towards the tunnel and away from the Auburn Dam site, reclaiming its natural course all on its own. The above picture was provided by Protect American River Canyons, a grassroots educational group dedicated to preserving the North and Middle Forks of the American River.

This feedback comes from Bryan M. of San Francisco regarding his 1-Day Trip on the Middle Fork American in June of 2007.

We had a great time on the river and our guides, Todd and Robyn, were outstanding. I think we’ll go back to the Stan, Kaweah, or North Fork American next year since we were exhausted from the 18 miles of the Middle Fork.

The food, scenery and people were great. We were all discussing our ideal trip for next year:

Same Guides, shorter and more intense river, no more than 4 or 5 people per boat and a better campsite (that was my bad).I’ll be coming back to you guys next year.
