American River
The American River in California is known for its whitewater rapids, and as the location of Sutter's Mill (where gold was found, leading to the California Gold Rush). It runs from the Sierra Nevada mountains through Sacramento and flows into the Sacramento River on its way to San Francisco Bay.
