Yuba River runs through the beautiful Tahoe National
Forest, with perfect views of the majestic Sierra Buttes, past the quaint
former gold rush towns of Downieville and Sierra City. Every spring
the Yuba rushes through its handsome forested canyon, providing paddlers
of all skill levels thrills and spills galore. The North Fork of the
Yuba River is a considered a classic, thanks to its combination of unimpeded
flow, superb rapids and stunning scenery. There are plentiful camping
sites along the river and despite its closeness to the Bay Area, the
North Fork Yuba manages to remain relatively free of crows.
The most popular stretch of the North Yuba River is probably the Maytag
Run, a Class IV raped named after the famous Class V Maytag Rapid, which
is one of the most photographed white water rapids in the American west.
For the less experienced or adventurous the river also offers fun rafting
in smaller boats at some of the lower flows. |
