Nevada County is known for being beautiful with its peaceful scenery, free-range wildlife, and friendly community. It also has almost 20 rivers flowing through it, including the Yuba River, which is a popular site for locals and tourists alike.

In a phone interview with Nevada County Sheriff Shannon Moon on March 27, she said, “If we’re not patrolling it, there’s tragedy.”
