Railroad Flat Access

Railroad Flat Access serves as the trailhead and boat ramp for the Merced River Recreation Area, located 4. 5 miles downstream from Briceburg via a dirt road (old railroad grade).

The site offers a parking area and boat launch for rafters and kayakers, with access to 28 miles of the Merced River Trail for hiking and mountain biking; swimming is recommended when river flow is below 700 CFS, and the area is particularly scenic during spring wildflower season (February-April).
