The nearby lakes, mountains, and rivers offer unlimited leisure activities. There is plenty of boating, fishing, biking, hunting and we are close to skiing. Yuba City and Marysville are known as the "Twin Cities" since they are just a stone's throw across the Feather River from each other. Our area offers many historical, cultural, and entertaining things to do. Some of Northern California's finest public golf courses are found here.
