Coke Hallowell Center for River Studies

At the River Center you can connect with the culture and natural history of the San Joaquin River through art and educational exhibits, programs and activities, gardens and links to pedestrian and bike trails.

There is something for everyone at the River Center. Programs like storytelling, river-inspired art workshops, readings by local authors, gardening classes and kids' crafts keep the place bustling with activity year-round.

The River Center has a restored 1890's ranch house, rose garden, orchard, vineyard and picnic area. The grounds and historic ranch house are available to rent for weddings, family reunions, birthday parties, business meetings and other special occasions.

Visit the River Store in the Leon and Pete Peters Welcome Pavilion to purchase unique gifts. A portion of all sales benefits the work of the River Parkway Trust.
