William B. Ide Adobe State Park, Red Bluff CA

Nice park right off the interstate, lots of history here. Smaller parking lot in the wintertime.

The adobe itself has been rebuilt after the big oak tree (now cut down, alas) dropped a large branch on it. It's a pleasant enough stop if you're in the area. They do living history events occasionally.

There's a short walk up a hill (not an accessible trail) for a nice view of the river, and a visitor center with much more of the history. The visitor center is a modern building and accessible. The adobe area is on relatively level, smooth ground, but it is dirt, so plan accordingly if walking is a challenge. Nothing is very far from the parking lot.

Parking costs $6 as of 2023.

This is so sad to go to Old ide adobe state park. It is falling down, unkempt and ugly. Really was hoping it was like it use to be.

Friendly and very imformional and clean, the rangers do an amazing job keeping everything clean including the restrooms.

Had to camp.last minute host is a mean mean lady. We weren't prepared she was rude granted the truck is quite loud a little understanding would have been.

Its the first time ive visited and been able to visit inside of the visitors center. Its a museum of sorts and has some interesting items for sale including those old school candy sticks! (That are basically a candy cane without the top hook part) and a few of the flavors, like buttered rum. Unique and delicious! Only downfall here = there are no spots to set everything down and get in the water - most spots where its not cliff meets water are better for fishing versus swimming

Cost to much to park for seeing 5 minutes of a park. Granddaughters said it was the most boring park they have ever been to.

Cool park with plenty of tables in the picnic area and some cool history to explore, right alongside the river.

Just a quiet little place to stare at the river. Cute for young school kids. To check out how the pioneers used to live.
