Loves Falls

Loves Falls actually has an upper, middle and lower drop on the North Yuba River. The name is derived from the upper cascade where a large heart-shaped boulder splits the water in two during higher flows. A massive bridge vaults the North Yuba River here. The river has cut a small gorge through the rock. It thunders from fall to fall, with a deep pool lying at the base of each fall. Access by auto: The shortest walk to Loves Falls is from the intersection of Hwy 49 and the Pacific Crest Trail…
