ABOUT DOWNIEVILLE
Downieville is located in the northern reaches of the Sierra
Nevada, and was one of the foremost cities of the Northern
Gold Mines. The County Seat of Sierra County, it was first
settled in 1851 and possesses a rich history from the Gold
Rush era. Downieville is located on Highway 49 one hour from
Nevada City and two hours from Sacramento or Reno. Downieville
is one of the prettiest of the Gold Rush townsand is nestled
in a forested canyon at the confluence of two sparkling streams,
the Downie River and the North Fork of the Yuba River. Downieville
and the surrounding area provide an abundance of summer and
winter recreational activities. Fall colors and spring wildflowers
offer some of the most spectacular driving and hiking in the
Sierra Nevada, and Downieville has rapidly become a mecca
for mountain bicyclists!
