About this spot
302-acre county park at the confluence of the American and Sacramento rivers, minutes from downtown. Bank anglers target striped bass in spring, salmon in fall, and catfish through the warm months, and a boat ramp gives access to both rivers. The park floods in wet winters, so check conditions before visiting.
