Middle Fork of the American: Class III-IV
The Middle Fork starts with a bang! Within minutes of jumping in the boat, you encounter several Class III rapids, preparing you for Tunnel Chute, the first Class IV rapid. Your day continues with several Class IV rapids as we raft deep into the wilderness. The middle section of this whitewater rafting trip mellows out and allows for swimming and relaxing before dropping into a second set of Class IV rapids to the end of the river. This is a strenuous day trip or a more leisurely two-day whitewater wilderness camping trip.
