You already love the Yuba and understand that only a community united can save a river.

Peak season has arrived on the South Yuba River and we are reminding folks to be safe while visiting. We are still recruiting volunteers for the summer River Ambassador season. Details

Given the amount of rain and snow we received this winter, many of us are eager for some warm and sunny days at the Yuba. With all that rain, the Yuba is flowing strong and cold and it’ll be a few months still before it’s safe to swim. Details
