Briceburg Launch

Briceburg Launch is a day-use BLM boat ramp located 12 miles east of Mariposa on Highway 140, featuring a gravel parking area, vault toilets, picnic tables, and a raised BBQ grill.

The site serves as a popular put-in and take-out point for whitewater rafting on the Merced River, with access to Class III-IV rapids; swimming is only recommended when river flow is below 700 CFS due to dangerous, variable conditions year-round.

The historic 1926 Briceburg Suspension Bridge nearby provides scenic views and access to downstream BLM campgrounds.
