Brannan Island State Recreation Area Details
Although it is not the largest state park in California (it only clocks in at 329 acres), this recreational area has plenty of exciting attractions and activities to keep you occupied. You find wildlife habitats in the marshes, boating opportunities down the San Joaquin River, and dozens of campsites and picnic areas where you can rest for the afternoon. The park consists of multiple islands and waterways of the Joaquin Delta, so fishing is by far one of the most popular activities. Striped bass, catfish, perch, and bluegill are abundant. On a warm day, it is also possible to go swimming in the water or sunbathing along the river banks.
