There is an awesome hike to town that is not on any map but it follows the south side of the river from our property through a 2.5 mile hike to Downieville. There is a nice elevation gain and two creeks to cross that can be of varying difficulties at different times of the year. More trails locally can be found here: https://www.alltrails.com/us/california/downieville - The Divide Trails are awesome loops that take you for miles through the surrounding forest above Downieville. There is also a ton of hiking up at the Sierra Buttes just about 20 minutes up the road east of us - https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/sierra-buttes-lookout-trail
There are lots of mountain biking options around Downieville. RSVP for one of our bike shuttles or go on your own two wheeled adventure! https://www.trailforks.com/region/downieville/
There are a couple of swimming holes on the property to enjoy the frigid waters of the Yuba. Bring a suit and beach towels, maybe even a flamingo floaty?!
