The Yuba ~ is there a more
magical river in these mountains?
On this Watershed Witness Tour,
we’ll imagine the even deeper
depths and breadth of magic
that the Nisenan tended ~
before the Yuba became the first river
strangled through a cannon,
smashing its own mountain,
thirst only for gold…
…and learn how ever increasing
impositions on the Yuba
for the sake of drinking water,
municipal and agricultural needs,
energy generation, and flood control
~ create one of the most complex
water systems in the country
~ while hopefully also protecting
this area from the worst
challenges of climate chaos.
Places we may visit
along the Yuba:
~ Angkula Seo Suspension Bridge
~ Scotts Flat Dam
~ Dredger Ponds
~ Englebright Dam
~ Longest Covered Bridge
~ New Bullards Bar Dam
~ Our House Dam
~ Pass Creek / Jackson Meadow campground
~ Lake Spaulding / Emerald Pools in the morning
