This is a well known area to see a GSXR or a BMW RR or any other sport bike in action. Canyon carving at its best for 13 miles. Just south of Coulterville on HWY 49.

Yes it is but Hwy 49 is closed for several weeks I believe. U might want to call mariposa co. to be sure of when the road will open up again.

We didnt have a problem and they didnt state any bear activity only rattle snakes. We enjoyed it there.

I am a paraplegic disabled vet. Is there a place I can get close to the water to fish? A pier? Thanks

I don't think there is. The river is quite a ways down a steep bank from the parking area. I never really looked at the boat ramp area though. Possibly that would be a good spot to access for you. Try calling the parks department.

Do they allow People to camp at Bagby or is it just a boat launch for lake mcclure? Also, is there enougj water at bagby launch year round to launch or does it dry up?

Yes they are allowing camping for the time being. There is a area for swiming and beach activities but it is shared water with boats. They is year round water but not always enough to launch a boat.

Is it open for camping now?

It was a few weeks ago, prior to this new wave of shutdowns. Now I'm not so sure, cool camping area.
