Gay Day at the Yuba

Gay Day at the Yuba is an annual event where the LGBTQ+ community gathers to frolic, swim, reconnect with old friends, and meet new ones, in a beautiful clothing-optional environment. The location is Hoyt’s Crossing on the South Yuba River, north of Nevada City, California. For complete information, please visit https://gaydayattheyuba.org .

Please NOTE that this is not a NC Pride Sponsored event, and that we are sharing this information as a courtesy to those visiting for the weekend to encourage safety and stewardship of the land and Yuba River.

New This Year! Nevada County River Shuttle

Please support Nevada County’s new River Shuttle Pilot Program, launching July 3 through Sept. 6.

The shuttle will provide a convenient, affordable way to access the Highway 49 crossing while helping reduce roadside parking, improve emergency access and lessen environmental impacts.

For just $2 each way, riders can park at the Nevada County Government Center and take a shuttle directly to the river on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with shuttles every 30 minutes.

This pilot is about making river access safer, more sustainable and more enjoyable for everyone while helping protect the South Yuba River for future generations.

Can you Volunteer on Monday for Yuba River Clean-up?

The weekend of August 1-2 brings almost a thousand men from all over California to the Yuba for Gay Day at the Yuba @ Hoyt's Crossing. Although we hope all the visitors to the Yuba will be sure to pack in and pack out all their trash, we are looking for a few volunteers who can go to Hoyt’s Crossing on Sunday, August 2nd at 5:00pm or Monday August 3rd at 10:00 AM at the 49er bridge to clean up any trash left behind. We want our queer community to be viewed as good stewards of the Yuba! 

SYRCL will provide garbage bags, buckets, gloves and trash pickers. We are looking for 2-4 volunteers. If you can help out for a few hours (and enjoy a swim in the river!) 

If you can help, please let me know if you prefer to help on Sunday at 5pm or Monday at 10am.

Please e-mail info@nevadacountypride.org.

Thanks in advance for helping to keep the Yuba River clean for everyone to enjoy!
