Auburn
State Recreation Area Canyon Keepers
Helping
visitors to ASRA enjoy the American River Canyons
Auburn State Recreation Area Canyon Keepers (ASRACK) assist the professional rangers of the Auburn State Recreation Area (ASRA) by providing information and assistance to visitors to the North and Middle Forks of the American River. Canyon Keepers volunteers share information regarding park rules and regulations, local history, plants and animals, trail locations and conditions, conservation and safety concerns, and sites of historical and natural interest. Canyon Keepers conduct monthly meetings and hikes which are open to the public. We learn from guest speakers about the history, geology, ecology, flora and fauna of the American River Canyons. Expert interpretive leaders lead the hikes. In addition, there are “members only” functions as a special treat for supporting and active members. See the Calendar of Events on the home page.
