I live along the Yuba river in Nevada City California. To me there is no place more beautiful or peaceful than the banks of the Yuba. In the summer the air is hot, the drive down to the river is dusty, and the walk to reach just the right spot is a bit steep, but when you reach your destination the water is sparkling, clean, and just the perfect temperature for refreshment.
There is a certain sound that everyone who enters this river makes. It is a long low sigh of satisfaction. It used to amaze me that everyone made exactly the same sound upon entering the water, but now I recognize it as the sound of coming home.
The Yuba river is long and winding, and there are many beautiful spots along the way, but there is one that is better than any other. As a true lover of the river I can't name the spot but if you happen to be in Nevada city on a hot summer day, all you have to do is follow the smiling people to find the most refreshing spot on earth.
Favorite place.
