Dos Rios in the San Joaquin Valley provides a rare glimpse of the region's natural state before its transformation into an agricultural powerhouse. The park boasts 1,600 acres of restored natural floodplain, offering activities like hiking, bird-watching, and picnicking.
Dos Rios is considered a valuable addition to California's state parks system, particularly in a region with limited park access. It features a riverside forest ecosystem that has been scarce in the Central Valley since the 19th century, hosting endangered species like the riparian brush rabbit and Chinook salmon.
