Parks and Nature
Hiking/Swimming
The Buttermilk Trail along the Yuba River is spectacular!
Be very careful swimming in Yuba River in early summer. The waters move much faster than it appears and there are accidents during the early summer every year. Best not to jump of rocks near fast moving waters until water level lowers later in summer and be very careful where you chose to swim.
