Wild & Scenic North Fork American River

The lower North Fork American River near Auburn CA is still threatened to be flooded by the long stalled Auburn Dam. Politicians are trying to revive the congressionally authorized dam to be built. Protect American River Canyons (PARC) is working towards creating California Wild & Scenic designation to ensure protection for this unique and irreplaceable river.

Was there today...just down river from what would have been the Auburn dam site. Glad they didn't dam it, the canyons and rivers are amazing.

Lived on Orrin drive back in the 80s…used to walk way down to the dam site and trout fish. Beautiful place.

This is the place where you must shell out $10 to park and enjoy. The generate millions every year in the confluence area alone. Where's the debate for that?

Buy the state parks pass , its a one time fee. Unfortunately they need the money to pay their workers to pickup glass, trash, plastic and baby diapers that all the wonderful low life morons leave behind.

You forgot to show the pot growers that will run you out at gun point.
