Briceburg Rd Access

Briceburg Rd Access provides a gravel boat launch and day-use area for the Wild & Scenic Merced River, located 12 miles east of Mariposa on Highway 140 near the historic Briceburg Visitor Center.

The site features parking, restrooms, picnic areas, and a suspension bridge crossing, serving as a popular put-in/take-out point for whitewater rafting (Class III-IV) and a base for gold panning and fishing.

Swimming is only recommended when river flow is below 700 CFS; check current conditions online before visiting, as the undammed Merced River flow varies dramatically by season.
