State Park Information

This 12-mile trail carries hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders through pine-choked canyons to gentler slopes and open meadows.

Visitors will see historic flumes and waterworks because this is Gold Country.

In addition to a romantic legacy, the 19th century argonauts left plenty of evidence of hydraulic mining at the neighboring Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park.

After a history lesson, there are wonderful swimming holes and rainbow trout pools along the Yuba's roaring South Fork.

To reach the campground, from Nevada City, follow Hwy. 49 to North Bloomfield Road and travel 10 miles to South Yuba Recreation Lands. From the one lane bridge at Edwards Crossing, it is 1.5 miles on a dirt/gravel road to the campground.

Alternate route for trailers follows Hwy. 49 to Tyler Foote Crossing Road, then turn right on Grizzly Hill Road to the intersection with North Bloomfield Road, make a left turn then proceed through a small residential area and make a right hand turn into campground.
