Yuba

I was visiting family in the area and no other river had water. So I went for a solo descent. Getting dropped off at the boat ramp, I tried to hike up the stairs and scout, and was able to see my river access downstream. so I dawned my gear and paddled across the lake to the least steep part, close to the damn. I had to tie a strap to the boat and drag it up the hill as it was pretty steep. once I made it up there was a long uphill carry followed by what felt like a 3/4 of a mile downhill carry to get to a sidetrack that led to the river. putting in there were small rapids for a while until the class 2+ ones started, then after entering the narrows there's a class 4 called ground chuck. I scouted and ran everything, then after the narrows it becomes a 4 mile flatwater/class 1 paddle out to the bridge. worth running in the winter, but not my first choice.
