Good news for whitewater rafters: Improvements at Indian Bar are complete. At its June 19 meeting, the Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) Board of Directors authorized the filing of a Notice of Completion for the Indian Bar River Access Project, just in time for peak summer rafting and fishing season. Located near Foresthill, the improved site provides safer and more convenient access to one of California’s premier whitewater rafting destinations. … The $1.7 million Indian Bar project improves access to the Middle Fork of the American River just downstream of the Agency’s Ralston Afterbay (Oxbow Reservoir) near Foresthill. The Ralston Afterbay Dam is located just below the confluence of the Middle Fork American and Rubicon rivers. … The raft put in site is next to PCWA’s Oxbow Powerhouse tailrace, the channel that carries water from the powerhouse to the river’s main channel.
