Learn About Gold Rush History During your South Fork American River Vacation

Just a short walk from American River Resort is the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, the site of gold discovery that sparked the California Gold Rush. The buildings and sluices of the park are maintained by the California State Parks to provide an authentic look at life in the time of the Gold Rush.

Here you can spend some time touring the historic sites, enjoy an ice cream at one of the local parlors, or peruse the treasures at one of the local antiques stores.
