Where the Merced River courses around two small islands lies Happy Isles, a popular area for picnics, swimming and strolls on marked paths and a small boardwalk over a marshy area. It also marks the start of the John Muir Trail and Mist Trail to several waterfalls and Half Dome. The Happy Isles Art & Nature Center operates out of here as well.
