What can you do at Auburn State Recreation Area?

You can hike, raft, fish, mountain bike, ride horses and pan for gold at Auburn State Recreation Area.

Whitewater runs on both forks of the American River range from Class II to Class V. Gold panning is allowed with hands and pans.

• Lake Clementine Trail: an easy 1.8-mile out-and-back from the Confluence along the North Fork.
• Foresthill Divide Loop Trail: 10.6 miles, with views of Lake Clementine and both forks.

The park has no drinking water and gets extremely hot in summer, so carry your own water.
