California State Parks is expanding and for the first time ever, Yuba County will have its own state park along the Feather River. … State Parks Forward is a recent initiative to bring three new state parks to the central and Sacramento Valley by 2030. Specifically targeting underserved areas, the parks will be at the San Joaquin River Parkway, Dust Bowl Camp, and Feather River Park in Yuba County. … The state expansion also means protection for the rare riparian forest. “There’s only 2% of the original riparian forests remaining and this is a prime example where we can perpetuate it and make sure it’s available for those future generations,” said [Matthew Allen, the Northern Buttes District superintendent of California State Parks].
