The river rises at the mouth of American Fork Canyon in the Wasatch Mountains about 35 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. The unnamed stream, which is the source of the American Fork, flows from Mineral Basin, through the length of the American Fork Canyon and has several named tributaries . The river runs through northern Utah County and empties into Utah Lake on its north shore.
The city of American Fork is named after this river.
The description "American" in the river's name is to distinguish it from the Spanish Fork that also originates in the Wasatch Range; alternatively, it could have been named after the American Fur Company.
