Yuba county, Bullards Bar Dam to Middle Fork Yuba section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     2.3 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in California are harder than the national norm, so keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. If you're coming from Yuba City-Marysville it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The Northern Sierra Nevada scenery is wonderful. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Bullards Bar Dam to Middle Fork Yuba stretch is just one of them. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Since
    you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here. The wonderful Yuba County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Yuba River - North Fork beats anything. You might have to settle for
a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. The Bullards Bar Dam to Middle Fork Yuba section of Yuba River - North Fork in Yuba County is 2.3 miles long and has been rated as a class V section by American Whitewater. This is a bit of a short stretch so no need to bring snacks.
