The original building is from 1867.  It was called the Weaver Building.  The back side (closest to the river) was added in the 1950’s. It has access from both Main St., and the river side. It is river front, and incidentally right where the mountain bikers and rafters gather for shuttle pick up, and raft put in.

During the last 5 years the County added a park, public bathrooms, a flood wall, a “river walk” between the bridges, and paved the parking lot behind the building.

The bike shop and the floor on the third story are build from old bleachers from SF State from the 1930’s.  The bench outside and the build in bench in the dining area are built from the original Kezar Stadium wood (original home of the SF Forty Niners)!

The famous “World Championship” held in August:  http://www.downievilleclassic.com/pages/downhill.html. This is being held in August.  Generally the town is overwhelmed with mountain bikers and all the camping etc. is taken up all the way to Lake Tahoe and Nevada City.  It’s a big festival all weekend.  They do a famous river jump, pixie cross, and usually have a free concert.

The rafters/kayakers put in right behind the building at the swimming hole.  The big draw is the Maytag rapid and Moss Canyon.  Maytag is downstream from the building, Moss is upstream.

The fishing is quite good in the North Yuba and Downie rivers right behind the building.   They stock the river in the swimming hole right behind the building all summer.
