1. Tributary Whitewater Tours
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 38 reviews
Rafting on the Middle Fork American River offers some of the most reliable Class 4 all season California whitewater rafting trips. It is a suitable raft trip for the active, fit and adventurous first-timer or a great choice for those seeking a step-up from the milder South Fork American River. It is set in a beautiful, rugged wilderness canyon in the Gold Country foothills. Though you can take a 1 day 17 mile trip, the 2-3 day Middle Fork American River rafting trips are some of our guides’ favorite summer rafting trips.

Totally professional, safe and fun experience for everyone in my family. There are 5 of us, girl-8, boy-10, boy-14 and mom and dad, and we all had a blast. Our instructor, Jim MacDonald, was superb and made us all feel at ease and safe which allowed us to have tons of fun. The equipment is clean and in good condition. A first rate experience overall and we can't wait to do it again!
3. Lake Clementine

I intended to take the 4 mile round trip hike to see the waterfall but we did not get too far. Probably less than a mile in, the trail narrowed and there was a steep drop on one side to the river. I have a great fear of this type of hiking trail; I can't blame it on my age (64). I am probably braver and a better hiker now than I ever have been. We have many trails of this sort where I live, but those drop into canyons (would you rather fall into a river or a canyon?). Therefore, I stick to coastal hikes or atop the bluffs and avoid the trails in the canyons. Despite the disappointment of not being able to finish the trail walk at Lake Clementine, we still got plenty of exercise, and we found the path to descend to the river bank. What a gorgeous vantage point to view the river up close. There actually are many trails here, but I couldn't get good information about which ones might be do-able for me from the ranger. My guess is that he took a look at me and decided I couldn't do any of them.This might be true. I would recommend this to anyone, even those of average fitness level or fears of heights/falling, as you can still find things to do here and enjoy the scenery. If you are adventurous and fit, you will enjoy it even more.

We have been going to antique stores for fun for years. This is the first time we have been here had a great time strolling up and down the aisles of the 40,000 square foot space. We took our time and spent 2 days looking, shopping and reminiscing. Close to Motels and Restaurants.
6. Miners Ravine Trail Loop

Reviewed By JereLakoJoy - Roseville, United States
I have lived here in Roseville 40 years now and recently started walking/biking the Ravine. I saw somewhere where it said "Loop" trail. No it's not a Loop trail and there are many places to enter or exit the Trail system. Sierra College and downtown Roseville is the beginning and or end of the Trail. 8.5 miles from one end to the other. Like I said, there are many areas to enter and exit. I saw one homeless camp area but have never encountered someone who looked homeless. Many walkers/joggers/and bikers. Area's are marked well and Trail is wide. Walkers and Joggers to the Left and Bikers to the right. GREAT place to exercise.

Love their red wines- cabernet was my favorite. Can't really speak to the whites as I did not try them as I prefer reds. Loved the wines enough to join the wine club! Friendly service, and beautiful outdoor sitting area. Peaceful, tranquil setting. Highly recommend! ????????????

Reviewed By Jess1821R
We enjoy going to the Fountains. As an out side mall it is great when the weather is nice which is 90% of the time. They have several shops that we always go in as we are foodies and own our own food truck. The restaurants to select from are terrific, 2 of our favorites are the Yard House and the California Kitchen. For the Holidays Bodine's (sp) for their bread is wonderful especially the fun shapes they do, makes thing a bit more special.

When one takes the windy old Highway 49 down to the American River the view itself is beautiful. Once down by the river there are many cars parked alongside the road and in parking areas. There is a $10 fee to park anywhere so make sure you fill out your ticket and leave it on your dash. The fine is a lot higher! It is a popular draw for hikers and photographers. The north fork and the East fork of the American River come together just above the bridge that crosses over the river and takes one up to the town of Cool. The flows are high, very cold and dangerous during winter rains and Spring when the snow is melting but the river is a sight to see crashing over rocks as it winds down the canyon underneath the famous 101 year old Mountain Quarries Railroad Bridge locally called “No Hands Bridge”. There are good trails to hike on both forks of the river. The one to the North fork will take one all the way to Lake Clementine dam where water spills over during high flows with quite a roar. The East fork takes one up to the old quarry and beyond. Lots of photo opportunities during the seasons.
