  • Der South Fork Eel River ist der bedeutendste linke Nebenfluss des Eel River im Nordwesten des US-Bundesstaates Kalifornien. Der 169 km lange Fluss entwässert ein Areal von 1784 km². Der South Fork Eel River entspringt 9,3 km südlich von Laytonville im Mendocino County. Er strömt in überwiegend nördlicher Richtung durch das Kalifornische Küstengebirge. Der U.S. Highway 101 verläuft entlang dem Fluss. Der South Fork Eel River mündet schließlich bei Dyerville im Humboldt County in den Eel River. Am 19. Januar 1981 wurden insgesamt 640 km im Flusssystem des Eel River als National Wild and Scenic River ausgezeichnet. Der Flussabschnitt des South Fork Eel River von seiner Mündung bis zur Einmündung des Four Creek wurde dabei unter Schutz gestellt. Im South Fork Eel River kommen verschiedene Lachse und Salmonidenarten vor. Nahe der Quelle bei Branscomb liegt die . Ein Abschnitt der entlang dem Flusslauf ist als Avenue of the Giants ein so genannter scenic highway. Am Oberlauf bei Leggett befindet sich die , weiter abstrom der . Unweit der Mündung liegt der am Ufer des South Fork Eel River. Im Ort Benbow am Mittellauf des South Fork Eel River wurde 1931 der Staudamm Benbow Dam zur Gewinnung von Elektrizität aus Wasserkraft errichtet. Dadurch entstand der 123 Hektar große See Benbow Lake. Ende 2016 wurde der Staudamm wieder abgerissen. Somit ist der Fluss wieder auf der gesamten Strecke für Wanderfische zugänglich. (de)

The , a branch of the Pomo people, once lived in the upper portion of the watershed. Before industrial development in the 1800s, many native tribes relied on the river's abundant runs of salmon and steelhead. In the 1920s, a private company built the Benbow Dam, blocking fish migration to a large area of the basin. The South Fork is designated as a National Wild and Scenic River from the confluence of Section Four Creek to the mouth. (en)
  • Il South Fork Eel River è il maggiore affluente dell'Eel River, nella California centro-settentrionale, negli USA. Il fiume è lungo 169 km, nasce sulle Iron Mountain nell'ovest della contea di Mendocino e termina il suo corso, immettendosi nell'Eel River, nei pressi della cittadina di Dyerville. Il bacino del South Fork drena una parte lunga e stretta della Catena Costiera della California, tra le contee di Mendocino e quella di Humboldt. La U.S. Route 101 segue il corso del fiume per molta della sua lunghezza. La tribù dei Kai Pomo appartenente al popolo Pomo, un tempo viveva lungo il corso superiore del fiume, mentre i Kato vivevano nei pressi della confluenza coll'Eel River. Prima dello sviluppo industriale del XIX secolo, molte tribù indiane utilizzavano il fiume per pescarvi salmoni e trote. Nel 1921, una compagnia privata costruì la Benbow Dam, una diga che bloccò la migrazione dei pesci in una vasta area del bacino. (it)
