Yuba Goldfields Access

The Yuba Goldfields Access provides public access to historic gold dredging sites along the Yuba River near Marysville, featuring scenic overlooks of distinctive tailings landscapes, dredger ponds, and interpretive opportunities about California's mining heritage.

The area offers opportunities for fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing among dozens of water-filled dredger ponds and restored habitat areas.

Access is available on BLM land and some private property; visitors should check current conditions and access restrictions before visiting, as portions of the goldfields remain privately owned.
