Now, let us help make the rest of the planning process easy for you by providing some tips on things to do before or after you hit the rapids. Keep reading for some of our favorite ways to transform your family\u2019s rafting trip into a full weekend of adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n

Soak up Some Gold Rush History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since you are rafting on the very same river where gold was discovered<\/a> in 1848, starting the California Gold Rush, it\u2019s only natural that you should visit the gold discovery site itself! Marshall Gold Discovery State Park is a great post-rafting option. You will have a chance to stroll through a recreated mining town, tour the Gold Discovery Museum, check out some Native American history and artifacts, see where gold was discovered, and pan for gold in the South Fork American River!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have time to go into town? Head over to Gold Bug Mine in Placerville if you\u2019re interested in some neat local history. This park has a mining museum, gold panning, and even a blacksmith shop! Here, you will get the rare experience of exploring an actual mining tunnel used in the gold rush.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hometown Favorites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Placerville\u2019s Main Street is always a fan favorite as well. With dozens of fun shops, restaurants (and candy shops, but you don\u2019t have to tell the kids), and Placerville\u2019s iconic bell tower, you could easily fill an entire day perusing up and down the street and soaking up the local culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go a few more minutes up the hill to Camino to check out Apple Hill<\/a>. While this area is most popular during apple season (Autumn), the orchards are open year round with lots of goodies to sample and fruit to pick. There are over a dozen orchards to explore, each with their own charm. Some have berry picking, others have wine tasting for the adults, and some even have their own flock of swans!<\/p>\n\n\n

American River Conservancy Nature Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of our partners in caring for our rivers<\/a>, the American River Conservancy, has a free nature center and nature library right in the Marshall Gold Discovery State Park! You can pop in to see some critters, learn what their prints and fur look like, read up on local ecology, and participate in free community events. Be sure to check them out for a guided hike, bird watching expedition, or for opportunities to volunteer outside!<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Get the post-trip wiggles out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You were able to wrangle the little ones and get them on the water?! You deserve some fun! If you\u2019re looking for a space for the kiddos to stretch their legs either pre or post rafting trip you won\u2019t have to go far. Lotus is home to a number of trails fit for little adventurers and adults alike. Besides our favorite hiking trails near the South Fork<\/a> that we love to wander through after a day on the water, there are a couple others especially fitting for the younger crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Henningsen<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Henningsen Lotus Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Henningsen Lotus Park is less than a block from our River Center with a large field, playground, and beach for releasing any pent up energy. This park has great river access, as well as a .5 mile trail that follows the same section of the South Fork American that you just rafted on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave Moore Nature Area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Need a hike with a little something extra? There is one trail in Lotus that is particularly fit for curious adventurers. This nature area is lovingly known for its dinosaurs! You\u2019ll have to check out the trail to see what we mean\u2026The walking trail through the park is a short 1.5 mile loop with amazing river access. Bring a chair, hammock, or a cooler to set yourself up for a relaxing day post-rafting. The first half of the trail is flat and wide, making it easily accessible. The second half is rockier and more varied terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n
