The Mountain Quarries Railroad Bridge, also known
locally as “No Hands Bridge,” is the most recognizable
historical monument in the Confluence area. The
Pacific Portland Cement Company completed the
170 foot long, triple-arch span concrete bridge in 1912.
At that time it was the longest concrete arch railroad
bridge in the world. The bridge and connecting rail
line were built to haul limestone from the Portland
Cement Quarry, located a mile up river on the Middle
Fork, to the Southern Pacific main line in Auburn.
In 2004 the Mountain Quarries Railroad Bridge was
added to the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2014, the bridge was designated
California Historic Landmark #1051.

In 1848 the discovery of gold by James
Marshall at Sutter’s Mill on the South Fork in
Coloma, spread a Gold Rush to the North and
Middle Forks. The “world rushed in” to pan and
dig the precious metal from the river and
canyons. Both the North and Middle Forks were
intensively mined, and sizeable towns and camps
grew up within the canyons and along the rivers to
support the mining operations. Today, the supply roads
and trails the miners used are the nucleus of the
recreational trail system in the Auburn State Recreation
Area. The Gold Rush Mining Museum is located in the
historic Auburn Depot, (see Local Museums below) and
offers a glimpse into Placer County’s Gold Rush history.

River and the canyon rim. The Maidu Nisenan fished for
salmon, hunted game, and gathered acorns. Both edible
and medicinal plants were collected as well. Their rich
seasonal calendar marked time with “Big Time” dance
ceremonies in the village round house called the “k’um”.
The Maidu Interpretive Center, located in Roseville
(916-774-5934), provides programs and exhibits that
illustrate the connection between the people, their
culture, and the natural world.

The Auburn State Recreation Area*, an extraordinary recreational, historical and scenic gem, is
located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills along 48
miles of the North and Middle Forks of the
American River stretching from Auburn to
Colfax and Foresthill. The Auburn SRA provides
high quality open space, wildlife habitat and
diverse recreational opportunities deep in
California’s legendary Gold Country. The
American River’s rich cultural tapestry includes
influences from the Maidu Nisenan Indians,
Spanish settlers and Gold Rush miners. The river
was named Rio de los Americanos by the Spanish. Today, the pristine river and canyon trails
offer visitors a variety of recreational activities to
responsibly enjoy. Major recreational uses include
hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding,
whitewater boating, fishing, swimming, gold
panning, picnicking, and much more.
