Knights Ferry Covered Bridge

I love it here. I've been coming here for 30+ years. The old The covered bridge is temporarily closed, but the trails and picnic areas and bathrooms are all open.

A nice place for family's day out. The area has running water, paid parking(10$ whole day), lots of wild flowers during the spring time and good seating areas for grilling. It has historic sites like a bridge and a museum as well. Not too far from central valley

$5.00 to park and you you have a fun filled day. Not only do you get a picturesque bridge but all that nature has to offer. Simple hikes for the entire family, even Fido. Bring your picnic grub and enjoy alfresco. There are bbq pits,picnic tables and plenty of parking lots. During the summer you can kayak down the river too. Two nearby restaurants and an ice cream shop.

We were just passing by when we decided to stop. It's quite a fun place with historical buildings, the covered bridge and access to the river. There are several short hiking trails in the area by the river as well. The place seems popular with tourists and I suppose it gets packed during summer. Lots of picnic and BBQ spots around.

We’ve lived in the Central Valley and driven by knights ferry countless times. We finally decided to visit today. It was beautiful. I’d call this a hidden gem in the valley. The bridge and old town site were very interesting. The rocks and river were beautiful and there was ample area for exploring and picnicking. I’ll be going back in the summer to swim and enjoy the area again.
