The new Jellys Ferry Bridge (over the Sacramento River) is now open (one lane). It is beautifully designed with architectural detail in color and patterns complementing the landscape

A short hike through grassy hills to the Sacramento River, and then up to a fine view at Inks Creek Point.

 You can see Lassen Peak in the distance, and the great bends on the Sacramento River below you. 

May see Tundra Swans, Snow Geese, Great White Egrets, and other waterbirds.  Western Meadowlarks, especially in Spring.

Look for otters in the River.

Some wildflowers, especially in March and early April.

Overgrows with prickly grasses by mid May.
