About this spot
No Hands Bridge is the historic Mountain Quarries Railroad Bridge (1912), a quarter mile downstream of where the North and Middle Forks of the American River meet in Auburn State Recreation Area. Reach it via Highway 49 south of Auburn; free parking sits on the El Dorado County side of the Highway 49 confluence bridge, with other pullouts charging a $10 day-use fee. A short trail drops from the road to the river. Locals swim and jump from streamside rocks at the confluence itself rather than off the bridge deck; pool depth and rock placement shift with releases and season, so scout before jumping. Hazards: swift current near the confluence, submerged rock, and cold snowmelt water even in summer. No lifeguards — this is an unofficial, self-supervised area.
