Been going there for years great hiking and other recreational activities. That being said the 10.00 day use fee is exorbitant. Be reasonable State of California

This State Park is super close to Sacramento and offers many outdoor activities. There’s plenty of hiking, biking, climbing and rafting in the area. You’re able to do all of these things in a day, and if that’s not living the dream I don’t know what is. 🤘 IG: @adventureoveramenities_
