This is popular river crossing at the Hwy 49 bridge. There is a great swimming hole right off the parking lot. Or if you are more adventuresome, take the Hoyt Crossing trail head and pick your own river spot along the way.

The original Wells Fargo Bank building (abandoned). Located in the area that used to be the bustling gold mining center of California. Now just a sleepy collection of houses in the middle of nowhere (but on the way to the river!).
