**Thorburn River Access Park Is Open**
Thorburn Access Park has 7.4 acres of undeveloped park land along the Kings River and is operated in partnership with the Kings River Conservancy.
County of Fresno wishes to remind residents and park patrons that swimming in the river is not recommended while water releases are occurring. The water flows are much higher and result in faster currents. Turn Around, Don't Drown!
