River Partners hopes the Mud Blast event will connect community to California’s largest watershed

For years, River Partners had envisioned holding an event that would shed a positive light on recreating on California’s rivers.In April 2012, River Partners acquired a conservation property that enabled the organization to put this plan into action, Dos Rios Ranch. The Mud Blast is designed to connect outdoor lovers and athletes from the entire region to the San Joaquin and Tuolumne Rivers.It’s an event that celebrates health and fitness, responsible recreation, and riverland conservation in one package.

River Partners’ Dos Rios Ranch — 1600 acres — has natural riparian woodlands, rich flood plains, and working agricultural fields at the confluence of the San Joaquin and Tuolumne Rivers. The purchase of this ranch for conservation and restoration signifies an enormous victory for San Joaquin Valley communities and families, outdoor enthusiasts, and for the vital task of flood control in California’s Central Valley. The property includes three miles of riverfront on the San Joaquin River and three miles on the Tuolumne River comprising some of the most biologically rich areas in California.

The Dos Rios Ranch acquisition and restoration project is the result of years of deliberate work and commitment, as well as more than 10 public hearings and reviews. The Dos Rios Project enjoys support from a wide array of elected officials from the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors and the Modesto City Council to Senator Dianne Feinstein, former Congressman Dennis Cardoza, and Congressman Jeff Denham.
