Recreation
Head to these Yuba River swimming holes in Tahoe National Forest for the most gorgeous wild swimming spots in California. You’ll find refreshing emerald green waters and calm pools, perfect for a summer swim.
Lake Tahoe isn’t the only place in Tahoe National Forest to spend the day soaking up the sunshine and splashing in refreshing water in hues of greens and blues. The emerald waters of the Yuba River wind through old growth pine forest and offer some excellent spots for summer swimming.
In many areas, there are deep pools, calm water, and plenty of rocks to lay out or jump off. The Yuba River is fed by snow melt, so the water can be pretty chilly. But, it feels great on a hot day in Tahoe National Forest, where summer temps can reach upwards of 90°F.
