Yuba, South

Yuba Gap of the South Fork Yuba River.

Real Class Five Plus through diverse California granite canyons.

Recommended to go with someone who knows the run. Once in the first few gorges commitment and increasing difficulty await for the remainder of the run.
Caves and stouts are mixed in with beautiful drops and fat boofs. Portages range from two to fifteen.

Note: The first flow study was in 2009 where American Whitewater partnered with Nevada Irrigation District (NID) and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to identify a preferred range of whitewater boating flows on numerous reaches in the Yuba and Bear River watersheds. Information obtained from surveys completed by boaters will helped identify flow preferences for whitewater boating. Flow preferences determined from boater surveys were used to evaluate possible effects on whitewater boating from Project operation and help define flow needs. Your dollars to support American Whitewater help our teams to negotiate with NID and PG&E on recreational flows.
