This beautiful park offers one of the best campgrounds in the area and is especially popular with people who like to fish.  The grounds offer all the basic amenities like picnic tables & fire pits and spots can be reserved up to seven months in advance.  
Take a walk on the nature trails, play some horseshoes, toss a frisbee or kick a ball in some of the wide-open gass areas, go fishing, swimming and so much more! 
If you're looking to camp here over the summer, make your reservations as early as possible. 
Park info:
Woodson Bridge State Recreation Area is a beautiful oak woodland park nestled along the Sacramento River with Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen and the Trinity Alps looming in the distance. 
A boat launch is located across the road in the county park and makes for easy access to the river for those who enjoy water sports.  A broad sand and gravel beach provides the opportunity to enjoy the sun and Sacramento River. 
Another special feature of Woodson Bridge is the preserve.  This dense native riparian forest is a winter home to the Bald Eagle and a summer nest site for the Yellow Billed Cuckoo and has some of the last remaining riparian habitat to be found in California.    
How to get there:
The park is on South Avenue; 3 miles west of Highway 99 at Vina; 6 miles east of I-5 at Corning.
