Sycamore Ranch and Hammon Grove give Yuba County two river-park choices
Yuba County's parks page points to Sycamore Ranch and Hammon Grove, with camping, day use, Yuba River access, trails, disc golf, and seasonal reservation details.
Yuba County has two close park names that are worth keeping straight: Sycamore Ranch and Hammon Grove. Both sit along Highway 20 near Browns Valley.
Sycamore Ranch is at 5390 Highway 20, with campgrounds and day-use areas on 90 acres. Hammon Grove is nearby at 5560 Highway 20, with just over 40 acres, a one-mile trail, Yuba River access, and an 18-hole disc golf course.
Camping operations and reservations are seasonal details, so check the county page before making plans. For a simple day trip, the same page helps sort parking, hours, and river access.
