Nature Walks
We invite you to come out and explore the wild and wonderful natural world of the San Joaquin River Parkway. The River Parkway Trust's nature walk program will take you to places not usually open to the public. Along the way, you'll hear bird songs, the sounds of the river and breeze, and enjoy the sense of peace and respite that time spent in nature can provide.
Our nature walks are typically 2 to 4 miles in length on fairly level ground. Children 7+ are welcome on general hikes, and children 12+ are welcome on birding hikes. No dogs, please. We ask that large groups or organizations arrange special group tours rather than attending regularly scheduled hikes. Special group tours can be organized by contacting our Programs Director, Molly Schnur-Salimbene at mschnur-salimbene@riverparkway.org or 559-248-8480 ext. 104.
