Hoyt Trail
Hoyt Trail is an easy to moderate scenic river walk above the South Yuba River located about 6.9 miles northwest of Nevada City.
Hoyt's Trail begins at the north end of the old Highway 49 bridge. It travels upstream about 1.2 miles to a beach and former river crossing called Hoyt's. Numerous downtrails lead off the main trail to small beaches, smooth, water-sculpted granite perches and pristine swimming holes.
• Dogs must be on leash at all times.
• Please clean up after your dog.
