San Joaquin River Gorge Special Recreation Management Area

Fun hiking trails and beautiful scenery. The full loop will take you some time to complete but well worth it.

Quick night away from town. Camped at the trailhead campground nobody else there $10 bucks. It was ok obviously hot, has some cell reception, and the moon was amazing with bathroom right there.

I love this hiking place specially in Spring season. There are a lot of wild flowers along the hiking trail. It’s an easy walk on the trail about 1 mile to the bridge and the river. The parking cost $5/ car for a day.

Beautiful grounds with parking , restrooms and multiple trail heads. We decided to take the trail to the bridge. It’s about a 30 minute walk down. The trail does become a bit narrow walking along the edge of the gorge. The view of the bridge and breathtaking! Highly worth the hike. The walk back is steep. My kids under 10 Hiked it with no problems.

Great hiking area! Very steep hills so please keep that in mind. Easy to loose cell signals so be sure to also let someone know you’re visiting the area before wandering off. Worth the hike and time!
