Delta Meadows River Park

Explore Delta Meadows River Park on an easy 3.2 miles (5.2 km) hike, where you will encounter a rare, undeveloped section of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The flat terrain winds through 520 acres of diverse landscapes, including riparian woodlands, wetlands, and grasslands. You can expect to complete this route in about 1 hour and 17 minutes, with a minimal elevation gain of just 9 feet (3 metres), making it accessible for most hikers.

While the park is primarily boat-accessible, you can reach it by vehicle via Railroad Slough Levee from River Road. Be aware that Delta Meadows River Park is currently undeveloped, meaning there are no restrooms or formal services available, so plan accordingly and remember to pack out all your trash. Dogs are generally not permitted on the trails within the park.

This unique area offers excellent opportunities for wildlife observation, allowing you to immerse yourself in a rich natural environment. Keep an eye out for black-tailed deer, river otters, and various wetland birds like great blue herons among the mature stands of oak, tule, walnut, and willow trees that line the waterways.
