The Trail: This twelve (12) mile trail carries hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders through historic foothill river canyons. Expect to see evidence of California's rich goldrush history - you're in Gold Country now! The 19th century argonauts left plenty of evidence of hydraulic mining. You can check it out at neighboring Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park. After your history lesson, you might sample the numerous swimming holes along the Yuba's roaring South Fork. Please Note: River conditions vary, during spring runoff. (April thru June) Some swimming areas maybe unsafe and not suitable for swimming. Please use caution.
