Birdsall Access

Birdsall Access is a river access point on the North Fork American River located at mile 3. 8 of the popular whitewater run between the confluence and Folsom Reservoir, featuring a turn-around area on river right.

This access point provides a convenient mid-run take-out or put-in option and may serve paddlers looking to split the run or access the river for fishing, though access may not be open year-round.

The location is situated just downstream of Pump Station Rapid (class III) and offers vehicle access via Maidu Drive off Auburn Folsom Road.
