On a scale of 1-10, 1 being the easiest and 10 being the hardest, I would have to rate the Gold Fields as maybe a 2 or a 3. If you are in the area of Yuba City, Marysville, or Linda California and you just want to get out for the day and have a little fun, well then the Gold Fields are for you. There isn't much that a stock Jeep can't handle. There are hill climbs, mud holes, and river crossings. Some of the rock in the river bed can get to be the size of bowling balls. 

The Yuba Goldfields, also known as the Hammonton dredge field, is the largest gold dredge field in California. Located along the Yuba River approximately six to 12 miles upstream of the town of Marysville, in Yuba County, the Hammonton dredge field was actively dredged for gold from 1904[1] to 1968.[2] In total, more than one billion cubic yards of river sediment and lesser hydraulic mining debris was dredged to produce an estimated 5.14 million ounces of gold.[2][3] The goldfields are noted for their otherworldly appearance (a result of gold dredging operations), filled with roughly linear mounds of gravels (called dredge tailing windrows), ravines, streams and turquoise-colored pools of water. From the air, the goldfields are said to resemble intestines.
