River Description

The C to G run is a shorter run of easy Class I and II+ rapids, perfect for beginners and boaters of all skill levels.

River Descriptions:
There are several write-ups that talk about the rapids found on the C to G run. But because this is a shorter run, you may have to dig through these write-ups to the mileage below the Chili Bar section to find what you're looking for. The C to G run starts in Coloma around Mile 8 and goes to the Greenwood Creek river access at Mile 11.
El Dorado County has this mile-by-mile description. Bill Tuthill also his pictures and description of the South Fork American at cacreeks.com. Then there is the American River Page that has a wide range of information about the river and the region, including a forum and photo gallery.
