Auburn Waterfalls

Auburn State Recreation Area (SRA) sits east of I-80 just northeast of Sacramento. Do not expect solitude—Auburn SRA receives more than half a million visitors each year. The good news is that this 35,000-acre park covers 40 miles of the North and Middle Forks of the American River. Expect to see a lot of whitewater enthusiasts here, as more than thirty whitewater outfitters are licensed to operate on the class II, III, and IV runs in the park. This trail guide contains descriptions of the following trails: American Canyon Falls, Knickerbocker Falls, Lake Clementine Falls, Paradise Canyon Falls and Codfish Falls.
