Trip notes: The Colusa-Sacramento River State Recreation Area has 67 acres, with 14 campsites, picnic sites, and a launch ramp for small boats. The River Patwin Indian tribe once lived nearby the area and in 1872 John Muir camped near what is now the park. River-bank cottonwoods and willows shelter one of the finest fishing stretches in California. In summer months, the nearby Sacramento River is a bonus with shad fishing in June and July, salmon fishing from August through October, sturgeon fishing in the winter, and striped bass fishing in the spring.The river is also on a major migratory route for birds of the Pacific flyway and provides home to an amazing number of species. The park is within walking distance of downtown Colusa. This region of the Sacramento Valley is well known as a high-quality habitat for birds. Nearby Delevan National Wildlife Refuge is an outstanding destination for wildlife viewing, and provides good duck hunting in December.
