The Chili Bar Run on the South Fork American River has always been one of California’s favorite river experiences with over 10 miles of river and the river’s most challenging rapids, including Racehorse Bend, Triple Threat and Troublemaker. Gazing at the spectacular display of wildflowers on “Poppy Hill” you might catch sight of an eagle. A hearty lunch is served near historic Sutter’s Mill where gold was discovered in 1848.
Each trip includes ecotourism extras such as a guided tour of the Marshall Gold Discovery Park and natural history interpretation by our superbly trained and knowledgeable MaLode guides. You will ride in eco-friendly shuttle vehicles powered by 100% waste vegetable oil, such as EcoBus, which reduce carbon footprint by 80%.
