The Yuba River sparkles and romps through a beautiful forested canyon right past Shangri-La. The river is ideal for active first timers and also has sections for experienced rafters. "The North Fork of the Yuba River is a classic. The combination of unimpeded flow, excellent rapids, beautiful scenery, plentiful camping and the quaint little town of Downieville all add up to a super river." A Guide to the Best Whitewater in the State of California, Lars Holbek & Chuck Stanley.
