Late last year, while we were still in California, we visited some friends that we have not seen in a while. While we were visiting Ember and Neal, they told us about Bullards Bar in Sutter County, California. Neal works part time at the reservoir, mostly during the spring, summer, and fall. Bullards Bar is a reservoir that was built on the Yuba River back in the 1950’s. The dam is a gravity arch dam just like Hoover dam. However, Bullards Bar dam is wider while Hoover dam is approximately 80 feet higher. So, Barbara, Ellie and I took a drive up to see Bullards Bar. The reservoir was a little low while we were there, but I understand the recent rains in the area have filled it up. A lot of people have houseboats here and it looks like a great place for boating, fishing, and other water sports like paddle boarding and swimming. It is a beautiful area at the elevation where the oaks of the Sierra Nevada foothills give way to the conifer forest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Take a look!
