Description

Once this area was owned by the Boy Scouts and was used for overnight camping and camporees.  It was undeveloped and primitive at  that time.   Now the area is owned by the Fresno Unified School District and is used for outdoor education activities.   It is also home to the Parkway River Camps each summer.  The area is now well developed with large lawns, a small amphitheater, bathrooms and challange course structures on both sides of the river. 

There is no public access here. 

There are some sections of fast narrow channels leading towards scout Island and even faster channels following.
