Marysville.

Several parking lots are
located where Pleasant Valley Road crosses the Yuba River.
Roadside parking is also available.
Hiking Distance
You can hike approximately 1.5 miles downstream
(west) or upstream (east).
Downstream meanders along the Yuba River
as it flows into the Englebright Reservoir.
Upstream goes along the river, and has
some great swimming holes.
Features
Bridgeport is located on the far west
side of Nevada County.
The beautiful Yuba River is perfect for
winter rafting,
and in the summer there are several great
places to swim.
Hiking is great all year long.
The historic covered bridge has been around
since 1862,
and the old toll station road can still
be seen today.
A lot of items have been preserved, and
the entire place is rich with history. |
