“Partly paved path to a pair of islands in the Merced River for wading, musing, and chillin'”

Features
River/Creek · Swimming
Family Friendly
Though you'll want to keep a close eye on kiddos, having a chance to dip their toes is a delight.
Description
This is a very short, nearly flat paved trail to the Happy Isles islands in the Merced River. Folks enjoy ease of access to the water, proximity to parking and nearby bathrooms. Some people prefer to visit in the late summer and fall, when the lower water levels provide a more tranquil atmosphere.
