Yuba River

The south fork of the Yuba river in washington california. The river here is remarkably clear and cool as it is all meltwater from the sierra snow.

About this place:

Gene's Pineaire, is right on the banks of the Yuba river in Washington California. The town was an old mining town that is now on one of the most beautiful stretches of river in the Sierras. Nearby there are natural water slides carved into the granite and pools that are 20 feet deep but so clear that you would swear they are only 2 feet deep. Aside from swimming, you can pan for gold right from your campsite.

    Washington is a beautiful area. Take care when passing thru though not to make eye contact with the motley crew rocking on their porches or wandering aimlessly on the street. I sometimes wonder if parts of "Deliverance" were filmed there!
