    Yuba - The Yuba River is a tributary of the Feather River in the Sierra Nevada and eastern Sacramento Valley, in California. The main stem of the river is about 100 miles long measured to the head of the North Yuba River. The river drains 1,345 square miles mostly in the western slope and foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
