An unmarked riverside outing · Spicer Road

Stanislaus River
Granite Slide

Start at Stanislaus River Campground—not the campground at Spicer Reservoir—and head downstream from the campground's river-access area toward a naturally polished granite channel.

The destination is well located, but the bank-side route is neither signed nor mapped as a maintained trail. Expect route-finding over uneven granite and forest terrain, and turn back if the safe line is not obvious.

Verified start & destination

Know where you are aiming

The map intentionally shows two pins rather than a connecting trail. No reliable public source maps the exact bank-side footpath, and the river centerline is not a hiking route.

Destination, not directions

Use the pin as context only

No turn-by-turn GPX—yet

We will add a downloadable route only after field-recording the actual footpath. Until then, do not navigate a straight line between the pins or follow a line drawn down the river. Use current on-site judgment and turn around when the route is unclear.
