California is a delightful location for outdoors folks. At Skillman Campground fun
 
    stuff to do is bountiful; it is a delightful campground. Skillman Campground is situated in the Northern Sierra Nevada.
If you enjoy whitewater, there is the Washington to Edwards Crossing portion, a class IV whitewater section
  on Yuba River - South Fork, 14 miles from start to finish. If you don’t want to risk getting drenched this section of Yuba River - South Fork is perhaps not for you. You have to check conditions before heading out; whitewater kayaking or rafting could become perilous.
