The Middle Fork of the American River features rapids from Class II to Class IV+ whitewater. Overall we rate the Middle Fork of the American River as an adventuresome Class III, with several Class IV rapids and one Class V rapid: the infamous Tunnel Chute. Here the river drops through a narrow, churning whitewater chute leading down to a flat water tunnel through a narrow ridge blasted by miners in the 1850s. The result is an exciting roller coaster ride, with a huge adrenaline rush.
