Description: This for advanced riders. Sweet singletrack with about a mile of very dire hike for about a mile in the middle. the middle could be cleaned if a mistake did not lead to fall to river below. I have 500 miles down Downivlle downhill and this one had me sweating in a couple of places.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

I just rode the South Yuba Trail this Saturday and I had a great time. Most of the trail is smooth single track along a very steep hillside overlooking the Yuba River with many awe inspiring views. It has a good mix of up and down portions. There were only a few places where it was too steep to ride up. I only used the three lowest gears during the entire ride. Usually by the time I reached a peak I was too out of breath to haul down the downhill. The shrubbery on the trail is quite overgrown and it is impossible to avoid the poison oak. At the 4 mile point where the South Yuba Trail meets the Humbug Trail there several picnic tables and plenty of room for camping. And there are lots of places to go swimming. Overall the South Yuba Trail is a great ride.

Beautiful singletrack, watch out for the Poison Oak, chlorinated hot tub kills it! Windex wash or soap stops it. Gold panners love this river.

Please know what you are doing this one is not forthe faint of heart. Please do not think you are advanced be advanced for years. Missiouri Bar just rips. Your ears pop on the way down over and over. If someone is hurt it will be difficult to remove the remains:{)

This is ADVANCED! We bought a map there. Ride out of town on Releif Road (gravel) Drop dpwn Missiouri Bar trail(ripping single track) Right at the river on to South Yuba Trail only a few feet above the river. Wil become hundereds feet above river. At Edwards Crossing go right on North Bloomfield to Rim Trail. Left on Rim which will loop back to North Bloomfield. then left back to Malakoff Digging.
