Short Description
  • Short and sweet, Chili Bar rafting trips offer a half-day of wet, wild, and adventurous fun on the South Fork of the American River near Sacramento, CA.
  •  Need a quick adventure fix? This classic California whitewater rafting trip on the upper 8-mile Chili Bar stretch of the South Fork of the American River offers several hours of rafting for novice and experienced rafters alike. You’ll maneuver through boulder gardens, dodge sneaky holes, and drop into exciting Class III rapids like Meatgrinder, Triple Threat, and Troublemaker (which definitely has the potential to live up to its name). In the calmer stretches, simply bask in the beauty of the scenic Sierra Foothills, or take the opportunity to hop off of the raft and feel the rush of swimming a “swimmer’s rapid.” 
  •  About an hour from Sacramento, and just an hour and a half from Lake Tahoe, this quick getaway has you rafting on the South Fork American River in the morning and back in time for lunch.
