California is preparing to open its first new state park in a decade. The Dos Rios tract, a 1,600-acre expanse located in the Central Valley near the Tuolumne and San Joaquin rivers, will officially open to the public on June 12. Visitors to Dos Rios will have access to hiking and picnicking opportunities, with plans for swimming and boating to be added in the future. The establishment of Dos Rios State Park aligns with California’s broader climate change mitigation efforts, with Governor Gavin Newsom announcing ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions on natural lands.
