New equestrian parking planned for Rice's Crossing

3/7/2019

 
Picture
Gold Country Trails Council and the Bear Yuba Land Trust (BYLT) are working together to create an equestrian parking area adjacent to the Rice's Crossing Preserve Yuba Rim trail head on Marysville Road south of Bullards Bar Reservoir. Several GCTC members met with Shaun Clark from BYLT on January 18, 2019 to look at the area. The parking area is part of a quarry which provided rock for the building of the dam. The entry into the area will be through a locked gate, and equestrians will get permission from BYLT. 

Signs, improved fencing and gate, as well as moving some of the large boulders and grading the parking area is funded by the previous donation of $1,000.00, given to BYLT by Gold Country Trails Council. Clark is currently getting estimates for the improvements and also contacting the county, who is responsible for Marysville Road, about establishing horse crossing signs.

The trail is a combination of single track and logging skid roads on the Rice’s Crossing property comprised of 2,706 acres spanning both sides of the Middle and North Yuba Rivers and their confluence. The preserve is bounded by New Bullard’s Bar Reservoir to the North and Army Corps of Engineers area and the South Yuba River State Park on the south with BLM land and National Forest boundaries also. This is an ongoing long-term project with more miles of trails envisioned for the future.
