Chili Bar Boat Ramp serves as the primary put-in point for the popular 20.

5-mile South Fork American River run from Chili Bar to Folsom Reservoir, offering access to a year-round intermediate whitewater section with Class II-III rapids and one Class IV- rapid.

The privately-owned resort charges parking and put-in fees and is best accessed early (before 9:00 AM) to secure parking and avoid weekend crowds.

The ramp provides access to a scenic stretch featuring notable rapids like Meatgrinder, Troublemaker, and Satan's Cesspool, making it a key access point for both commercial and private boating operations.
