Great little park. The park stewards have put in some serious effort to bring this little gems back after the floods.

Chili bar folks serve an important purpose, and they keep the river beautiful. We owe a lot to the people who support this place.

Water was flowing! First time at this location. Super nice people. This place makes me want to try a small kayak.

Sharon Carpenter

Beautiful and well maintained. Loved watching the birds and listening to the water! Ranger was very friendly and respectful. Will definitely visit again.

Love this outdoor facility that allows me to drive up to the river edge and sit on the banks of the American River and fish and tan. I have mobility issues that limit me from many things in life. But here I am just an older woman enjoying nature and loving and living in the moment. Thank you Kelly for working so had for the people in this area to see nature and live for the moments we enjoy of nature's awesome spectacle and wonderment. Vicki Flam

The dude at the desk is always friendly and cool. Note that they open at 8:30 on weekends so unless you fancy carrying everything over or around the gate (and paying when he gets there) sign up for the late shuttle ride.

Perfect spot to catch a few rays, gold pan or raft, friendly atmosphere. Chili bar has access to private cabin with reservation in a beautifully tucked property with amenities. I would recommend this place to all!

bill brown

Very nice guy working let us park there to change our fuel filter. Fabulous view. Mainly just used for rafters putting in river

David Engel

These people do a fantastic job at preserving and keeping clean the put in for the busy South Fork of the American kayaking and rafting run. Year after year they have a great staff who work hard so that we can have a great access point on the river.

Jan Johnson

Beautiful little spot on Hwy 193 3 miles off Hwy 49 out of Placerville. Great for picnic lunch and absorbing the beauty of nature.

kenneth arlen

I didn't catch any fish, but enjoyed some practice casting and enjoying the view!

Mayumi

Great place to spend some time with kids, have a picknick, swimm in the river. When we went, it was not crowded at all, which was good and safe. But there is no restroom and parking is paid, so plan your trip there. But definitely a place we will come back!

Kelsey Waters

The classic put in for the upper half of the South Fork of the American. Recent flooding has made the private boat launch considerably more awkward as you can no longer drive all the way around the lawn by the water. This area now gets pretty congested. Otherwise, this is a safe place to launch and leave a few cars while on the river.

Albert

Easy access. Grateful to have it for amazing river. Parking is not cheap. If you boat this section often it could be worth buying an annual pass.

Carlos Rodrigues

Not a traditional store but a over priced convenience store , and it's closed for the season. The raft put in area / park is not open to gold panning, metal detecing or rock collecting quite a bummer.
