The section of the old railroad grade between Briceburg, McCabe Flat and Railroad Flat is in the best shape of all the segments as it is gravel road maintained by the BLM for recreational access to the river and the campgrounds at McCabe and Railroad Flats. Hikers along this section of the trail get a good view of the river but do have to put up with an occasional car or truck going or coming back from the campsites. The road/grade in this section is often well above the river but there are several places where a hiker can access the river, especially at the campgrounds at McCabe and Railroad Flats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1659849321516-398K1OWL1DQO3OP3TVM3/lowerLupine.png Policy and Projects - Merced River Trail - Railroad Flat to the North Fork Below Railroad Flat, the gravel road ends, but a hiking trail along the lower Merced River continues down to the North Fork of the Merced River. The trail also goes up the North Fork of the river for about half a mile. There is no doubt that a natural free-flowing Wild and Scenic river is best experienced when away from roads and traffic noise and this area is the most pristine and unspoiled segment of the river, outside of Yosemite National Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1659849323874-3CMW2G1ER6LRUAYJTC59/NorthForkFalls.png Policy and Projects - Merced River Trail - North Fork Falls In the spring, the hike along this segment of the river and up the North Fork is very popular. This section of the river, that included the Quarter Mile Rapids, is also the most sought after whitewater rafting experience on the river, but only available when the conditions are right. The North Fork Falls on the main stem, just upriver of the confluence with the North Fork, is a popular stop for lunch by both rafters and hikers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1659849324069-IQSEMV4YBLAQAO244BVI/RiversEnd.png Policy and Projects - Merced River Trail - North Fork to Bagby When the North Fork of the river is flowing, it is cold and hard to cross unless one goes considerably upstream, limiting access to the main stem of the river west of the confluence with the North Fork. Approaches to this area from the west are difficult at best: The railroad grade west of the North Fork would seem to be more or less intact until it reaches the boundary with Lake McClure. When the elevation of the free-flowing river reaches 867’ above sea level, the Wild and Scenic Merced River ends where it becomes Merced Irrigation District's Lake McClure, about 5 miles above the bridge on HWY 49 at Bagby. The Maximum pool level, or "bathtub ring", of Lake McClure is 867’ and when the reservoir is full in the spring and early summer everything downstream of this point on the “river” is flooded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1659849319478-87L2DLHOOOY1JGQA0SWT/BagbyCliffs2.png Policy and Projects - Merced River Trail - Bagby As might be expected, the constant seasonal flooding has largely destroyed the railroad grade below the rivers end at 867', and much of the time the grade is below the water level of the lake. The terrain on the north side of the river/lake through this area is steep, suggesting that finding the right strategy for the trail through this area will be challenging. However, as part of relicensing of the operation of the New Exchequer Dam by Merced Irrigation District (MID) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), MID has agreed to improve access to the river corridor within their FERC boundary, where the river is legally part of Lake McClure and not Wild and Scenic, including a footbridge linking the North and South sides of the lake/river, thus potentially allowing greatly improved access to this area. https://www.merced-river.org/policy-and-projects/calwild-merced-river-signage-plan monthly 0.5 2022-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/18dc39c4-ab76-4301-94cc-bf1f7f2de6d8/Screen+Shot+2022-09-29+at+3.55.50+PM.png Policy and Projects - CALWild - Merced River Signage Report - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.merced-river.org/policy-and-projects/spillway-modification-plan monthly 0.5 2023-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1665677134151-9KS7DXYN2DJKIMAE7DSH/unnamed-5.jpg Policy and Projects - On the Radar: Spillway Modification Plan - New Exchequer Dam Spillway Courtesy of Merced Irrigation District https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1665676504266-27ZZQ8U6JWTV6YFHM28A/New-and-Old-Exchequer-Dam-7-8-2019.jpg Policy and Projects - On the Radar: Spillway Modification Plan - Original Exhequer Dam (at front) Normally the original dam is under water.

Numerous small meadows and adjacent riparian habitats occur on these stretches of river. The meadows and rich riparian habitat within this intact riverine system support a great diversity of plant and animal species, owing their existence to the river and its annual flooding. These range from common species like mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) to rare species such as the spotted bat (Euderma maculatum). Photo: Meadow in Little Yosemite Valley, Robb Keele - Getgo Outdoors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1667320350823-6VG6AXR0S931X7P6Y6E6/ORV+BIO+2.jpg River Values - Biological Values - The meadows and riparian communities of Yosemite Valley comprise one of the largest mid- elevation meadow complexes in the Sierra Nevada. The large, moist, mid-elevation meadows and the riparian vegetation communities of Yosemite Valley owe their existence to river processes sustained by the high water table of the river and its annual flooding, as well as periodic burning by American Indians (Anderson et al., 1991) . These mid-elevation meadows (most greater than 30 acres in size), the riparian zone, and wildlife species associated with these habitats are rare and unusual at a regional and national scale.4 Yosemite Valley meadows and riparian habitats support rare and endemic plant and wildlife species, including an exceptional diversity of both bat and sedge species. This biological diversity is a function of the variety of niches made possible by the meadows and presence of year-round water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1667320351383-U7PBR7ZHE4L6WM3YM4LP/ORV+BIO+3.jpg River Values - Biological Values - The Sierra sweet bay (Myrica hartwegii) is a rare plant found along the South Fork Merced River. In Wawona and downstream, the South Fork Merced River provides habitat for a rare plant, the Sierra sweet bay (M. hartwegii). This special-status shrub is found in only five Sierra Nevada counties. In Yosemite, it occurs exclusively on sand bars and riverbanks downstream from Wawona and on Big Creek, although only a portion of the Big Creek population is found within the Wild and Scenic River corridor.

There are only to 15 known population sites of the limestone salamander (hydromantes brunus) between the mouth of Sweetwater Creek near Briceburg, and the headwaters of Lake McClure; 8 sites are protected under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Limestone Salamanders depend on moist conditions and good cover; they are vulnerable to surface disturbances and drought conditions.

Out of 200 species of birds that occur seasonally or as a resident in the Sierra Nevada, nearly all can be found on the Merced River at different seasons. Species include important game fowl like California Quail, interesting non-game fowl like the roadrunner, waterfowl like mallards, wood ducks, buffleheads, and herons, as well as Federal and State-listed raptor species like the bald eagle, great grey and spotted owls, and peregrine falcons.

The Merced River occupies a transitional zone between the cold waters of the upper reaches of the watershed and the warm waters of Lake McClure. Fisheries are broad cross-sections of native and introduced coldwater and warmwater fish species occur. Native species like California roach, Sacramento pikeminnow, hardhead (a California Species of Concern) and riffle sculpin depend on the health of the river habitat. Common non-native species include bluegill, smallmouth bass, rainbow and brook trout, or more. (Bureau of Land Management).

The Merced River above Bunnell Cascade highlights the relationship between geology and river course, as exemplified by the sweeping, glacially sculpted granite canyon that cradles the river. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1667194422569-6JMI29PYGXB2GLIG2GUJ/ORV+GEO.jpg River Values - Geological and Hydrologic Values - The “Giant Staircase,” which includes Vernal and Nevada falls, is one of the finest examples in the western United States of stair-step river morphology. This river segment, famous for its glacially carved landforms, is unique in the scale, variety, and sheer grandeur of its celebrated rock and water features. Dropping over the 594-foot Nevada Fall and then the 317-foot Vernal Fall, the Merced River creates what is known as the “Giant Staircase.” This exemplary stair-step river morphology is characterized by substantial variability in river hydrology, from quiet pools such as Emerald Pool to the dramatic drops in the waterfalls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1667194422923-3Y6OVS6XBX37U51CFU9B/ORV+GEO2.jpg River Values - Geological and Hydrologic Values - The Merced River, from Happy Isles to the west end of Yosemite Valley, provides an outstanding example of a rare, mid-elevation alluvial river. In Yosemite Valley, the Merced River is alluvial, characterized by a gentle gradient, a robust flood regime with associated large woody debris accumulation, and complex riparian vegetation. There are few examples in the Sierra Nevada of similar river morphology at this scale and elevation (about 4,000 feet). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1667194423500-N1LNQ7NC008WN1YP8LX5/ORV+GEO3.jpg River Values - Geological and Hydrologic Values - The boulder bar in El Portal was created by changing river gradients, glacial history, and powerful floods. These elements have resulted in accumulation of extraordinary, large boulders, which are rare in such deposits When river gradients decrease, rivers lose the energy needed to transport large sediments and boulders. In such areas, bar-type deposits—such as the large boulder bar at the east end of El Portal—are built up. This rare boulder bar contains massive boulders measuring over a meter in diameter and weighing many tons. It is the combination of boulder availability, steepness of the river in the gorge, major change in gradient and valley width at El Portal, and size of the Merced’s peak floods that enables the river to create such a boulder bar. As illustrated by the January 1997 flood, the Merced continues to sort and build this bar, providing evidence in all seasons of the river’s potential erosional and depositional ability. https://www.merced-river.org/river-values/biological-values-d9s9e monthly 0.5 2022-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/1667694276043-S3D51MO3JQWFQL8V4YE5/unsplash-image-muNaqVq7sTs.jpg River Values - Scenic Values - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/ab77e3f3-029f-4063-b430-132838372e81/ORV+Scenic.jpg River Values - Scenic Values - Visitors to this wilderness segment experience scenic views of serene montane lakes, pristine meadows, slickrock cascades, and high Sierra peaks. Starting at the headwaters, the Merced River passes through chains of “paternoster” lakes29, enters the upper montane forest, and becomes walled in by a classic U-shaped glacial valley. Scenic landmarks visible from the river or its banks include Washburn and Merced Lakes, Echo Valley, Bunnell Point, and Little Yosemite Valley. The long river segment of great visual variety and its uncompromised natural setting provide diverse, exceptional scenery—all with the river in the foreground.

Once in the flat valley, the Merced provides the foreground to many of Yosemite’s most famous landmarks. From the river or its banks, views consist of Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Fall, El Capitan, Half Dome, and other named and unnamed parts of the cliffs and hanging valleys rimming the valley. Meandering through a sequence of compound oxbows, wetlands, and meadows, the river and its related features provide broadened panoramas. Throughout the valley, views from the river or its banks encompass the lower montane forest as it rises up to sheer rock faces of granite cliffs and talus slopes with a flat valley bottom serving as a contrasting foreground. The juxtaposition of granite domes and waterfalls is unique, as is the concentration of river-related views found in Yosemite Valley https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ba473bdee9b648bfb4231b/56e27b43-3e16-44ff-9a95-bfb6b8abde0f/Merced+River%3ACowboy+Jules.jpg River Values - Scenic Values - The Merced River drops 2,000 feet over 14 miles—a continuous cascade under spectacular Sierra granite outcrops and domes. Descending from Yosemite Valley, the river becomes a continuous cascade in a narrow gorge littered by massive boulders. Arch and Elephant Rocks and other landmarks rise above, all visible from the river or its banks. Dropping 2,000 feet in 14 miles, canyon walls rise steeply from the river and have many seasonal waterfalls cascading down to the river. Spring and fall bring special parades of colors, from redbuds and other plants warmly flowering in spring to bigleaf maples and other trees turning bright colors in fall.

The South Fork Merced River in these stretches is largely inaccessible, with just a few trail crossings above Wawona and none below it. The scenery from the river or its banks is that of an undeveloped Sierra Nevada river valley, with views dominated by forest-cloaked hills, distant peaks, and an untamed river. These are some of the wildest views possible in the Sierra Nevada.
