Yuba River
MARYSVILLE, CA - MAY 16: A view of the Lower Yuba River and the Daguerre Point Dam on May 16, 2023 in Marysville, California. The Daguerre Point Dam, built in 1906 and owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is a debris dam to hold back mining debris from the Gold Rush. Governor Newsom joined State, Local and Federal Officials to announce an agreement to reopen the Yuba River to chinook salmon and sturgeon and launch river restoration by building fishways for the fish to swim around the dam.  (Photo by John G.
