Turtle Back Hill in China Camp State Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Turtle Back Hill is a small peninsula that is actually more like an island, a unique ecological island that is almost entirely surrounded by the salt marshes along San Pablo Bay. Turtle Back Hill features a microcosm of the ecology of China Camp State Park. All four types of oak trees that can be found in the park are on Turtle Back Hill: coast live oaks, valley oaks, California black oaks, and blue oaks. Interspersed with the oak woodlands are grasslands that have a mixture of both native and non-native species. On the northwest side of the hill is a beautiful field of purple needlegrass (Nassella pulchra), the official state grass of California. And surrounding the hill are the vast salt marshes that so typify the shoreline of San Pablo Bay.
