William B. Ide wrote the proclamation that established the short-lived California Bear Republic in 1846.  It lasted 22 days.  Ide recognized the opportunities available to him in the west and as a surveyor, miner, treasurer, district attorney, deputy clerk and judge, provided support and leadership to this northern part of California. 
While the park memorializes Ide's role in early California history, recent research has shown he never owned the property. 
Stop by the park and enjoy a picnic along the Sacramento River, relax in the sun or enjoy one of the many annual events held in the park.  There are also historic buildings on site including an old adobe home and the blacksmith shop which you can tour. Be sure to stop by the visitor center as well.  
How to get there:
Take Adobe Road East from I-5.  The park will be on your right, less than a mile down the road.
