North Fork Yuba
Bird’s Eye ViewThe North Fork Yuba makes for some exciting whitewater if you have honed your rafting or kayaking skills. Especially on the section from Union Flat to Downieville. This area should only be for advanced skill levels if taking a private trip. The Yuba River is bordered by National Forests, recreation areas, state parks and intersected by the Pacific Crest Trail. There is plenty of riverside camping or campgrounds along the river so try to eek out as much adventure as possible and spend two days on the river. |
