Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park: The spot where gold was first found along the river. Kids pan for flecks while adults explore old buildings, then everyone ends up at the picnic tables by the water.
Cronan Ranch Regional Trails Park: Rolling foothills with miles of open space. Locals come for trail runs, long rides on horseback, or just a quiet hike with sweeping views.
Sly Park Recreation Area (Jenkinson Lake): Popular for summer days when people fish from the shoreline, swim at small coves, or paddle out in kayaks. Afternoon breezes through the pines keep it comfortable even in the heat.
