The El Dorado County Parks Division is responsible for private boater education and monitoring and regulating commercial activity on the South Fork of the American River. The County's goals are to preserve the river corridor's environmental resources; protect the area's rural character; reduce conflicts between residents and boaters; and maintain a quality whitewater boating experience.
