Even though you're on the West Coast, there's nothing like the natural spectacle of watching a river run. You can enjoy that beauty thanks to the Calaveras River. This river is situated in the Central Valley and flows roughly southwest for 80 miles from its headwaters in northeast Calaveras County into the San Joaquin River just west of the city of Stockton. The calming sound of the river and the perfect spot for an outdoor picnic awaits just a short drive away.
While the idea of cruising the Miracle Mile sounds like a lyric from a song, it is actually a possibility when you're visiting Stockton.

Whether you are out looking for something in particular or just taking in the sights, the Miracle Mile is an essential stop on your visit to Stockton.
