About South Yuba River State Park

The South Fork of the Yuba River runs through the Sierra Nevada foothills, forming the water feature this park was set aside to protect. The park follows the river's course, giving visitors access to its banks and the surrounding terrain shaped by the waterway over time. It sits within a landscape defined by the river's path through the mountains.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
