Beginning our tour among the Yuba headwaters, where precious snowmelts are preserved for drinking water, we’ll check out recent repairs on crucial infrastructure within the heart of this complex canal system.

Once we pour down the mountain towards Nevada City, we’ll re-meet our water at Scotts Flat reservoir and the Elizabeth George Water Treatment Plant, before curving towards two further forks of the Yuba, each with unique ecologies and senses of place.

Finally, touring the lowland impacts still lingering from the era when this river smashed mountains in pursuit of gold, we’ll tuck into the foothills and camp overnight at Lake Englebright amidst a sweet cove only accessible by party barge.

Car-caravan with carpools encouraged. Dinner and breakfast provided ~ please bring everything else you’ll need for a day tour and/or an overnight camping trip on a lake.

Partial tour options, scholarships, and customizable food options available.

Itinerary, route, and tour details provided after registration.
