San Joaquin
Mendota Pool to Merced River Confluence
Firebaugh has a nice riverside park with this gazebo, playgrounds, and picnic areas. The odd structure in the river was a foundation for a rotary bridge. In the early days there was a lot of river boat traffic on the San Joaquin up to and past Firebaugh. Instead of building a draw bridge to let the boats get by, the bridge rotated horizontally out of the way.
