Bridgeport - May 21, 2016
There are two main hikes at Bridgeport in the South Yuba River State Park. The Buttermilk Bend Trail begins at the north parking lot and follows the north side of the river upstream for a gentle and level 1.2 miles. Scenic river views abound. Don't miss the springtime wildflower display. Point Defiance Loop begins at the north end of the covered bridge and continues downstream 1 mile where the river flows into Lake Englebright at Point Defiance. The trail continues uphill with peaceful lake views, then descends through oak woodlands back to the bridge, for a total of 2.8 miles. We will have lunch at June's Cafe and Deli across from Lake Wildwood.
