Located at 17660 Pleasant Valley Rd, Penn Valley, CA 95946, South Yuba River State Park is a 20-mile portion of the canyon that stretches from Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park to Bridgeport covered bridge. The area includes the longest single-span covered bridge in the world (currently closed for restoration), the steep rugged canyon of the river, and the Independence Trail – the first identified wheelchair-accessible wilderness trail in the country. Dogs on leash no longer than 6 feet are welcome in the park and shoreline areas of the park including on trails and Kneebone Beach, a swimming area on the south side of the river. The Family Beach downstream from the covered bridge at Bridgeport, 200 feet downstream on both sides of the river, is the only area where dogs are not allowed.
