Merced River Recreation Area
Recreation area is located 15 miles north of Mariposa, California. Beginning in the high country of Yosemite National Park, the Merced River makes a headlong rush through glacially-carved canyons, rugged mountains and foothills to the San Joaquin Valley. Ample access points to the river allows to challenge the rapids at one's own pace. Enjoy a day of fishing before gathering around the campfire to cook up the days catch at Railroad Flat or McCabe Flat campgrounds. The best times to visit are spring and summer. Many commercial raft outfitters, licensed and supervised by BLM, offer trips on the Merced River. Contact the BLM Folsom Field Office for a list of approved commercial raft operators and their schedules.
