FINAL PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT REPORT ANTIOCH BOMBING TARGET

1.0
Introduction
TechLaw, Inc. (TechLaw) received Task Order No. 0015 under contract DACW05-95-D-0004 to provide services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Sacramento District (USACE). This Task Order requested the development of preliminary assessments for eleven suspected, World War I1 era, gunnery and bombing ranges. These sites were identified by USACE through a variety of sources. The eleven sites include Trinidad Bombing Target, Gualala Bombing Target, Jenner Bombing Target, Petaluma Bombing Target, Antioch Bombing Target, Stockton Ordnance Depot, Lake Chabot Gunnery Range, Livermore Rifle Range, Livermore Auxiliary Field, NAAS Vernalis, and Gustine Bombing Target. Individual reports have been prepared by TechLaw for each of these eleven sites. TechLaw's primary researcher for the development of this Preliminary Assessment was Betty Henkle (916) 557-6826 and the TechLaw Project Manager was Gene Barber (303) 763-8881.
1.1
Objectives of the Report
In preparing this Preliminary Assessment Report TechLaw has addressed each of the tasks specified in the Scope of Work for this assignment. The purpose of this Preliminary Assessment (PA) Report is to provide the USACE information regarding the Department of Defense' (DoD) interest in the site and to determine if this site should be considered a formerly used defense site (FUDS). This report addresses the former and current ownership of the site, and the historical and current use of the site. Due to the limited information available at the onset of the research detailed herein, it was necessary for TechLaw to determine the approximate physical boundaries of the site. In some cases the lack of physical boundaries affected TechLaw's ability to compile a complete ownership history for the site. TechLaw attempted to identify the types of ordnance used at the site and the specific location(s) where related activities took place. Based on the scope of work for this assignment historical records were reviewed at the San Bruno National Archives, several archives in the Washington, D.C. area, one local historical repository, and the offices of the local county Assessor and Recorder. In most cases TechLaw also made several personal contacts in an attempt to develop the history of the site. Throughout the development of the site history there are gaps in historical data and occasional conflicts between sources. TechLaw has identified datagaps and conflicts where they occur in the text of the report.

Final Preliminary Assessment-Antioch Bombing Target
In an attempt to provide complete information and a thorough evaluation of the site, TechLaw has conducted a site visit to gather additional information and record the current condition of the site. TechLaw staff recorded the current state of this site both on film and video tape. The video tape documenting the results of the site visits is included in the file for the Stockton Ordnance Depot. Finally, TechLaw was required to evaluate the potential for hazards at the site and to complete an Ordnance and Explosive Risk Assessment Code (RAC) for the site. The RAC for this site has been provided as Appendix 5.
1.2
Site Background
The Antioch Bombing Target is located approximately 11 miles east of Antioch, in Contra Costa County, California, in Township 2 North Range 3 East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian (Figure 1). The nearest major road is Highway 160. The Antioch Bombing Target was located in Divisions C and D in what was known as the Subdivisions of the Lands of Franks Reclamation Company (CA0018). These divisions total approximately 992.92 acres of what is now submerged land. According to the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Brannon Island District, Rio Vista, California, this area became submerged during the 1930s. This area is currently known as Frank's Tract and will be referred to as such throughout the remainder of this report. This area is popular for sightseeing, water sports, fishing, and picnicking. The area around the Antioch Bombing Target contains housing, marinas, he1 stations, and restaurants.

Ownership History: Antioch Bombing Target 1906 to Present
TechLaw evaluated the real estate history of the property that contains the Antioch Bombing Target by reviewing records at the Contra Costa County Assessor's and County Recorder's Office located in Martinez, California and at the National Archives in San Bruno. Grantee and Grantor indices were examined from the 1900s to the 1960s to determine if the United States obtained an interest in land in the area of the Antioch Bombing Target. Although TechLaw has not developed a complete chain-of-title for the Antioch Bombing Target, it has compiled a fairly complete overview of the ownership history of the target area. The property which TecKaw has evaluated is included on the Contra Costa Assessor Map, Book 25, pages 3 and 4 (CA0012 and CAOO13) and in Book B of Maps, page 40 of the County Recorder's Office (CA0018). Descriptions of the property noted below refer to Assessor parcel numbers (APNs) which consist of the book and page of the map and the individual parcel number (e.g., 25-004-008, 025-004-004). Figure 2 is a composite of the two Assessor maps and depicts all of the property discussed below. Parcel numbers are circled on the map and appear as two digit numbers. The property TechLaw has determined to contain the Antioch Bombing Target consists of Division C, Parcels 025-004-008, 025-004-007, 025-004-006, 025-004-005, 025-004004, 025-004-001 and Division D Parcel 025-004-001, 025-004-002, 025-004-003, and 025-004004. The property discussed in this report consists of Divisions C and D and will be referred to as such throughout the remainder of this report.
2.1 Antioch Bombing Target Property History
In 1906, the area containing the Antioch Bombing Target was owned by Dr. N.K. Foster and F.C. Franks according to Book B of Maps, page 40 (CA00 18). In a Deed recorded on March 29, 1913, Fred C. Franks and his wife conveyed an undivided one-half interest of Division D (Frank's Tract) to John Markley and Ada R. Markley of Sutter County, California (CROO 18).
According to a property acquisition map dated November 23, 1943, the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley, California (Regents of California) owned Division D, containing 502.25 acres (SB02 12). A Renewal of Government Lease executed on May 15, 1951, extended the period of performance for Lease NOy(R)35540 from July 1, 1951 through June 30, 1952. Lease NOy(R)3 5540 was executed between the United States as Lessee and The Regents of the University of California as Lessor on February 1, 1944 for 992.92 acres (SB0084). A memorandum dated November 21, 1944, concerning real estate activity at Air Facilities, states there was a Lease (NOy(R)35540) for 502.25 acres. According to other documentation, this Lease was renegotiated from 1952 to 1954 (SB0084, SB0069, SB0045, SB0055, SB0056, AND SB0059). TechLaw was unable to obtain any of the actual Leases for this property.

According to a letter from the Twelfth Naval District dated July 7, 1944, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) had a power line that bisected Division D (CP0006). TechLaw was unable to obtain any records indicating an easement for PG&E. The target was moved from Division D to Division C because of the hazard of the PG&E power line according to an acquisition map dated November 1945 (Figure 3 and SB0208). According to the memorandum dated November 21, 1944, there was an exchange of land by revocable permits between the California Peat Company and the Government and that the permits were executed and transmitted on September 22, 1944 (SB0109). A letter dated September 24, 1945, states that a revocable permit from California Peat Company and a revocable permit from the Government to California Peat Company were forwarded to the Bureau of Yards and Docks on July 7, 1944, for execution and approval. These permits covered 500 acres adjoining the property covered by Lease NOy(R)35540 and were to be used by the Government for bombing operations (SB0108). Although no specific description of the property is provided it appears that this acreage equals that of Division C. On April 5, 1945, The Regents of California conveyed a one-half interest of Division D (Frank's Tract) to Carl and Nancy Newbury and Lawrence and Maude Mehaffey by Deed recorded in Book 600, page 2 10. The Regents of California retained all mineral rights to Division D (CR002 1). California Peat Company conveyed 502.25 acres of Division D to the State of California by Deed recorded on April 4, 1960, in Book 3653, page 304 (CR0022). The Regents of California also conveyed 502.25 acres of Division D, including the mineral rights, to the State of California by Deed recorded on April 6, 1960, in Book 3653, page 308 (CR0023). California Peat Company conveyed all of Division C to the State of California by Deed recorded on February 8, 1961, in Book 3900, page 486 and by Deed recorded on August 24, 1960, in Book 3823, page 60 1 (CR0020 and CROO 19). According to the Deeds recorded in 1960 and 1961, L.W. Mehaffey and Carl Newbury were the secretary and vice president of the California Peat Company (CR0018 and CROO 19). Currently, the property known as Frank's Tract is owned and operated by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Brannon Island, Rio Vista, California (NS0006).

Department of Defense Operations at Antioch Bombing Target
As outlined in the Scope of Work for the Preliminary Assessments, TechLaw has contacted state, federal, and local agencies, libraries, and historical societies in search of information regarding this site. Information regarding this site was limited and there is very little detail concerning the specific activities of DoD. The information provided below is a summary of DoD's operations at Antioch Bombing Target. This information was obtained from oral accounts and written documentation regarding the Antioch Bombing Target and the surrounding areas. TechLaw has delineated the various locations of the Antioch Bombing Target on Figure 3.

3.1 Antioch Bombing Target
According to a letter dated November 28, 1952, discussing the renegotiation of Lease NOy(R)35540 covering 992.21 acres for the Antioch Dive Bombing Target, the Lease stipulated that the Lessor (California Peat Company) was allowed to dig peat in this area. It also states that the California Peat Company was required to advise two weeks in advance of any proposed digging operations in the vicinity of the target, so that the target structures could be either moved or closed for the period of the digging operations. A request was also made to allow sportsmen to fish in the subject area. The Navy disagreed with this arrangement, stating that it would be with "consequent liability" of the Navy in case of injury or death attributable to dive bombing or rocket training. The letter also states that there was an urgent requirement for an indefinite period of time for this target site. Squadrons trained in this area played a large part in fighting in Korea. It was recommended that additional effort be made to negotiate an acceptable lease or that consideration be given to condemnation to obtain the continued use of the target area (SB0055).
An attachment to a letter dated May 11, 1953, discussing Naval Air Targets, Gunnery and Bombing Areas, 12th Naval District, states the Antioch Bombing Target consisted of a floating target on inland waters at Latitude 3 8-02-30N and Longitude 121-37-00N. The bombing practice normally consisted of air to ground rockets and miniature bombs. The target area was temporarily closed pending renewal of the lease by condemnation proceedings. TechLaw was unable to obtain any documents pertaining to the condemnation proceedings (SB0044).
3.2 Deactivation of the Antioch Bombing Target
A Naval speed letter dated January 7, 1954, states the Navy used the Antioch Bombing Target continuously fiom 1943 until the Lease by the Navy expired on October 27, 1952. In the Naval speed letter, the Commandant of the 12th Naval District, was advised of the interest of the sportsmen and recreational groups in Frank's Tract and that the State Parks Commission was seriously considering establishment of a State Aquatic Park in the area. The Commandant also received numerous letters from sportsmen associations and their representatives protesting the acquisition. The Navy considered that the resultant adverse public relations would be most detrimental to the Navy and should be avoided. Renegotiations of the Lease were unsuccess~l and the Navy withdrew the request for the target and all Naval District interest in Frank's Tract was terminated (SB0043).

Subsequent Development at the Antioch Bombing Target
According to Randy Riblet and Jay Galloway, California Department of Parks and Recreation, Frank's Tract is currently used for fishing, duck hunting, sightseeing, and boating. The area which contained the Antioch Bombing Target is under approximately 20 feet of water and contains duck blinds. The area immediately surrounding the location of the former target area is completely undeveloped and consists of open water. Located approximately 1.25 miles fiom the target area and 75 feet from the western shore of Frank's Tract is Bethel Island. Bethel Island consists of homes, restaurants, marinas, and fbeling stations. This island is separated from Frank's Tract by a cement sea wall constructed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation.

Results of Site Visit
A site visit was conducted on January 28, 1999, of the Antioch Bombing Target to make observations about the current condition of the site and to attempt to identifl any features that might relate to the operations of the DoD. Betty Henkle and Gene Barber of TechLaw conducted the site visit. Video tape and photographs were taken to document the features of the site. The photographs that were taken are incorporated in this report as Appendix 3. The video tape of the site will be delivered to USACE with the Final Preliminary Assessment Report. In order to conduct a site visit of the Antioch Bombing Target it was necessary to request the assistance of the California Department of Parks and Recreation. TechLaw personnel arrived at Brannon Island Park, Rio Vista, California at approximately 10:OO a.m. The skies were foggy and visibility was minimal. Randy Riblet and Dennis Pruitt, from the California Department of Parks and Recreation transported the TechLaw staff by boat to the area called Frank's Tract. In order to reach Frank's Tract the boat passed through Three Mile Slough, crossed over the San Joaquin River, past Twitchell Island and Bethel Island, False River, and into what is referred to as Little Frank's Tract. Bethel Island is located approximately 1.25 miles from the Antioch Bombing Target across Piper Slough and contains housing, restaurants, marinas, and he1 stations (Photograph Nos. 1, 3, and 5). Due to the erosion of the levees and Frank's Tract being rich in peat soil, a sea wall was built by the California Department of Parks and Recreation by the request of the homeowners and businesses along Frank's Tract to keep debris off the island and to keep the surrounding areas from washing away. On the east side of the sea wall is the area known as Frank's Tract. According to Randy Riblet this area was submerged in the 1930s and remains under approximately 20 feet of water. Frank's Tract consists of open water and although the area nable to locate any signs of of the target was hlly covered by boat, TechLaw personnel Nos. 1, 3, and 5). DoD activities or any debris left from the bombing target
5.1 Conclusions from Site Visit
As a result of the site visit that TechLaw has conducted on the Antioch Bombing Target and its surrounding areas the following conclusions have been developed: The former location of the Antioch Bombing Target is widely used by the public for recreational purposes. The areas surrounding the target are occupied by homes, marinas, restaurants and he1 stations. The water-borne gunnery and bombing targets referenced in this report appear to have been removed and any debris that remains is submerged under approximately 20-feet of water.

Conclusions
The following conclusions are based on the results of the research presented in the previous sections of this report.
6.1 Conclusions
As a result of the research that TechLaw has conducted on the Antioch Bombing Target and its surrounding areas the following conclusions have been developed: TechLaw has determined that there is sufficient documented evidence to support the fact that DoD used the Antioch Bombing Target and the surrounding area for target andlor bombing practice from WWII through the early 1950s. The areas surrounding the target have been developed for recreational and residential use. The Target itself remains submerged under approximately 20 feet of water. No physical evidence exists that the site was used by DoD. Documented evidence exists that bombing practice consisted of air to ground rockets and miniature M23 bombs (Huckins, February 4, 1999).

Summary
TechLaw staff visited the National Archives during a three day period to look through documentation pulled by Mr. Green pursuant to a request to view any files they had concerning all eleven sites. On October 20, Steve Clonts, Betty Henkle, and Amy Romero arrived at the archives and began the process of going through the boxes of material. On October 21 and 22, Steve Clonts, Cheryl Mahoney, and Sarah Howe spent time looking through more boxes and large map rolls. There was information for most of the sites, with the exception of Gualala, Stockton Ordnance Depot, and Livermore. If the budget allows another trip to the Archives, TechLaw will look through additional boxes. TechLaw has learned since going to the Archives that Stewarts Point is actually Gualala, therefore any information concerning that area will be pursued.

Summary
An informationalmeeting was attended by staff from the USACE, DTSC, and TechLaw. The attendees w e r e Bill Mullery, USACE; Mike Metro, USACE; Karise Rose, USACE; Jennifer Veir-Dunn, USACE; Dave Price, DTSC; Steve Clonts, TechLaw; and Sarah Howe, TechLaw. Mr. Mullery asked for an update on the status of research on the eleven preliminary assessment sites, and work being done by the USACE attendees and DTSC attendee. Discussion involved information sharing on sites such as Livermore NAS, Gualala. Stockton Ordnance Depot, Antioch, and Jenner. Dave Price and Jennifer each had a map of the Gualala bombing target which was given to TechLaw. It appears that the target may have been referred to as "Stewart's Point bombing target" during the war. The map depicts Gualala Point, but the legend states that it is Stewart's Point, even though Stewart's Point falls further to the south. A discussion between the meeting attendees included the assumption the perhaps the site was referred in this manner because the bombing target was in Sonoma County, and the actual town of Gualala is in Medocino. Dave Price said that he spoke with a woman named Jody Sparks. from Davis, CA, who has an account from a man in the Gualala area who found a smoke bomb when he was a young man. He apparently lost part of a finger and his friend's face was scarred by schrapnel when the bomb exploded. TechLaw asked if Dave could be contacted later with Ms. Sparks phone number. Clarification of the Livermore area of concern was discussed and TechLaw will followup with USACE on the exact location. Also, the Stockton Ordnance Depot was discussed at length. These two areas are confusing because they have been referred to by different names. The area of Antioch was discussed because Karise is performing an INPR on a site referred to as "Contra Costa bombing target" and TechLaw has found the target known as "Antioch bombing target" in Contra Costa County. Are these the same area? There is also a reference to a "Sonoma bombing target". Is this the same as any of the target areas TechLaw is researching? For example, Jenner, Gualala, and Petaluma? TechLaw gave Dave a copy of an outline for the eleven sites.

Mr. Huckins answered several ordnance pertaining to all eleven sites. He stated that 30 and 50 caliber bullets would be used at a machine gun range, both steel and lead. At both Radar Bombing Targets and Dive Bombing Targets, M23 miniature practice bombs would be used. An ordnance hut would contain small arms, and repair of the small arms may also occur there. The building noted with "High Explosives" on the Vernalis plot plan would probably be an ammunition storage building.

This risk assessment procedure was developed in accordance w i t h MIL-STD 8 8 2 C and AR 385-1 0. The RAC score will be used by CEHND t o prioritize the remedial action at Formerly Used Defense Sites. The risk assessment should be based upon best available information resulting from records searches, reports of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) detachment actions, and field observations, interviews, and measurements. This information is used t o assess the risk involved based upon the potential EX0 hazards identified at the site. The risk assessment is composed of t w o factors, hazard severity and hazard probability. Personnel involved in visits t o potential OEW sites should view the CEHND videotape entitled " A Life Threatening Encounter: OEW." Part I. Hazard Severitv.

The legislation states "the delta's waterways and marinas...[and] recreational boating within the delta is of statewide and local significance and is a source of economic benefit to the region..."(Public Resources Code Section 29712). The Commission was charged with developing a "comprehensive long-term resource management plan for land uses within the primary zone of the delta" including "preserve and protect open-space and outdoor recreation opportunities" and "preserve and protect opportunities for controlled public access and use of public lands and waterways consistent with the protection of natural resources and private property interests" and preserve, protect, and maintain navigation". The Commission prepared a series of background reports, including one on recreation and access, which noted a lack of current data on recreational uses of the Delta Primary Zone. The Commission and the Department of Boating and Waterways entered into a contract with the Department of Parks and Recreation to prepare a user survey [see Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Recreation Survey, August 19971. In addition, the Commission's staff was directed to prepare a survey of recreational facilities in the Delta, focusing on the Primary Zone. This survey of recreation facilities does not adequately describe the scope and extent of recreation in the Delta, because those facilities serve many individuals who come fiom out of the Delta to use the Delta waterways. For example, the number and location of launch ramps does not adequately indicate the number of users of the waterways, nor does it adequately describe the economic impacts of recreationalists in the Delta. The Delta is part of an extensive area of waterways that cover San Francisco Bay, and stretch north and south along the rivers in the Delta watershed. Within the Legal Delta, water covers approximately 61,000 acres of the 738,493 acres; the Primary Zone is 5 1,000 acres of water covered area within the total 49 1,774 acre area (Department of Water Resources, Report on Land Use Patterns in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, 1993). The regional population for the Bay Area is approximately 6.5 million with another two million persons in Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Yolo Counties. This creates a pool of 8.5 million persons of potential recreationalists within a reasonable travel distance of the Delta. While the inventory of marinas in the Legal Delta indicates over 12,000 berths, the number of registered vessels in the nine Bay Area counties and the Delta counties total almost 250,000 (Department of Motor Vehicles, Total Vessel Registration by County as of December 3 1, 1996); which is more than 28% of vessels registered Statewide. Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties alone have 67,613 registered vessels
DESCRIPTI~N OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES COUNTY BY COUNTY
including anything from a large sailing vessel to a personal watercraft (aka jet ski). Statewide, of the 881,092 vessels registered with Department of Motor Vehicles, more than half are less than 16 feet in length. About one-third of those small vessels are "jet" propelled, and a little less than half are outboards. Many of these vessels are stored at home-- in driveways and garages throughout the region. Vessels of varying sizes are stored in the hundreds of dry storage spaces located in and around the Delta region. While many marinas provide dry storage spaces (13 in the Delta area are listed in the 1997 CaVNorth Directory) almost twice as many dry land storage facilities are located in and around the Delta region (24 are listed in the 1997 CaVNorth Directory). In addition to the large number of people served by the recreational opportunities in the Delta, there is a large economic benefit to the region and the State as a whole. A 1997 report prepared for Department of Boating and Waterways indicated gross receipts statewide of over $28 million from dry storage; $178 million from marinas (wet storage); $123 million from launching fees; almost $11 million from marina service stations; $1.1 billion from boat dealers; and $78 million from personal watercraft dealers. Boaters impact spending on other industries, such as groceries, restaurants, gas stations and drugstores in connection with their boating activities. The 1995 expenditures in these non-boating industries by boaters statewide totaled $1.3 billion. Lastly, the survey looked at taxes generated by the boating industry; including state taxes generated (personal and corporate income taxes, gasoline taxes, and boat licensed and fees); local property taxes (boats, marinas, and other boating businesses); and other local revenues (sales tax and business licenses). For the entire State, those revenues were over $588 million in 1995. Recreational facilities in the Delta should be evaluated along with the survey of users prepared by the Department of Parks and Recreation for the Delta Protection Commission and the Department of Boating and Waterways. The inventory of facilities is intended to gather into one document information about public and private facilities which provide recreational opportunities in the Delta area which takes advantage of the unique Delta resources, particularly the waters of the Delta. The inventory of recreational facilities is not intended to be a guidebook, merely a resource for private and public planners, and the general public interested in what types of recreation facilities are located in the Delta. The inventory does include information about how to obtain specific information about the recreation facilities listed in the inventory.
INTRODUCTION
Background
In May of 1995, the Delta Protection Commission and the Department of Boating and Waterways entered into an agreement with the Department of Parks and Recreation to study recreation uses of the Delta, focusing on boating and fishing. Department of Water Resources contributed in-kind services and staff hours. The purpose of the study is to provide current recreational use figures for the entire Legal Delta for use by the Commission and by other federal, State, regional and local agencies in their planning processes. A Recreation Oversight Subcommittee was appointed by the Commission. Members include Commissioner Don Nottoli, Supervisor, Sacramento County, as Chair; Commissioner Bill Curry, Department of Boating and Waterways; Commissioner Donald Murphy, Director, Department of Parks and Recreation; Judy Higley as staff representative for Department of Water Resources; Warden Mervin Hee for Department of Fish and Game; and citizen members: Sally Shanks, Staten Island, San Joaquin County; Chris Lauritzen, Harbormaster, Lauritzen Yacht Harbor, Antioch; Steve Woodard, Herman and Helen's Marina, San Joaquin County; and Gil Labrie, Labrie Architects, Sacramento County. The group met several times to review the questionnaires and help oversee the survey process, and to review the survey results.

As part of the overall work program prepared by the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Delta Protection Commission staff prepared an inventory of Delta recreational facilities. The task is described "Identify and inventory existing recreation facilities and other recreation opportunitiesiIdentifyand document current recreation opportunities in the Delta: inventory and map existing parks, fishing access locations, and other public recreation landslfacilities; inventory and map hunting clubs, yachting clubs, and other private recreational opportunities; inventory and map private property used for informal recreation; and inventory significant historical and cultural resources." The inventory focuses on sites in the Primary Zone, with some sites in the Secondary Zone where those sites take advantage of the waterways and resources of the Primary Zone.
Preparation of Inventory
The inventory was prepared by gathering and reviewing a number of written sources, and verified through a site visit to each site. The site visits were completed in October of 1995; new information has been added since that time to update the inventory. Each site has an inventory sheet and each site was mapped on USGS quad maps of the Delta. The information was gathered using a Department of Boating and Waterways inventory of marinas, and numerous other sources including marina listings, magazines, guidebooks, maps, local planning reports and documents, newspaper articles, and other sources (see references). The sites have been mapped in the Commission's Geographic Information System prepared by Teale Data Center, the Commission's mapping consultant. Preliminary versions of the listings and maps were reviewed by local government planning and recreation departments, the Oversight Subcommittee, and the Recreation Citizens Advisory Committee.
Presentation of the Inventory
The information in the inventory is presented two ways: County by County, and by Type of Recreational Facility. In each presentation the information is presented three ways. First, there is a written description of the facilities, followed by a chart of the inventory information, and, finally, a map illustrating the geographic distribution of the recreational facilities. The numbering system is organized by County: Solano County begins with #l; Yolo County begins with #50; Sacramento County begins with #loo; San Joaquin County begins with #200; and Contra Costa County begins with #300. The charts presenting County-by-County information are organized by type of facility starting with marinas, and followed by, launch ramps, yacht clubs, fishing access, parks, preserves, and, lastly, other types of facilities. The charts presenting facilities by type, are organized by County starting with Solano County, and followed by Yolo, Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Contra Costa Counties. A list of maps, Internet sites, booklets, and books prepared for use by the general public is included at the end of the report. The price and information on where to obtain this information is also included.
DESCRIPTION OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES COUNTY BY COUNTY
DESCRIPTIGN OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES COUNTY BY COUNTY
Solano County Solano CountyEs Delta lands lie on the western edge of the Legal Delta covering about 86,000 acres, or approximately 17 percent of the Primary Zone. The land includes property to the east and the west of the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel, and to the west of the western levee of the Yolo Bypass. Islands and tracts in the Primary Zone include: Hastings Tract, Prospect Island, and Ryer Island. Waterways in the County include Barker Slough, Cache Slough, Hastings Cut, Hoss Slough, Lindsey Slough, Sacramento River, and the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel. The City of Rio Vista is largely outside the Legal Delta, with a small area in the Primary Zone. Solano County has three marinas, all privately owned. Two of the marinas qualifjr as "medium" marinas and the third is a "large" marina. Arrowhead Harbor, on Prospect Island by Miner Slough, has 76 berths, is a "medium" marina (between 50 to 200 berths). Arrowhead also has a launch ramp and picnic facilities. Snug Harbor Resort on Ryer Island by Steamboat Slough is another "medium" marina with 100 berths, a launch ramp, 88 camping sites, picnicking facilities, and a fishing pier. Both of these marinas are within the Primary Zone of the Delta. The CountyEs "large" marina is Delta Marina located in Rio Vista on the Sacramento River out of the Legal Delta, but directly adjacent to the waters of the Primary Zone. Delta Marina includes 275 berths, a launch ramp, 25 RV camping sites, and a pump-out. There are five launching facilities within Solano County. Three ramps are in the private marinas (see above). Two public ramps are located at Rio Vista Fishing Access in Rio Vista on the Sacramento River and at Sandy Beach Park south of Rio Vista also on the Sacramento River. The public ramps are outside the Legal Delta. Camping in Solano County is provided at three locations including: Delta Marina, with 25 camping sites; Snug Harbor Resort, with 88 camping sites; and Sandy Beach Park, with 42 camping sites. Picnic areas are located at several sites in Solano County including: Arrowhead Harbor, Snug Harbor Resort, Rio Vista Fishing Access, Rio Vista Riverbank Fishing Access, Sandy Beach Park, and the Western Railway Museum. Formal fishing access is provided at Snug Harbor Resort, which is privately owned; at a pier in Sandy Beach Park which is a County Regional Park with camp sites, a trail, picnic sites, and a launch ramp; and at the two fishing sites in Rio Vista: Rio Vista Public Fishing Access and at a pier at the Rio Vista Riverbank Fishing Access. Trails are located at Sandy Beach Park and at the Nature ConservancyEs Jepson Prairie Preserve located on Calhoun Cut near Barker Slough. There are two private Yacht Clubs in Solano County. One is located outside the boundaries of the Legal Delta in Rio Vista; one is in the Primary Zone on Cache Slough. The one public park in the Delta area is Sandy Beach Park in Rio Vista on the Sacramento River. This park has 42 campsites, a fishing pier, a scenic trail, picnicking sites, and a launch ramp. The Park is outside the Legal Delta, adjacent to the waters of the Primary Zone. Two "other" facilities exist in Solano County. One is the Jepson Prairie Preserve, which was recently transferred from Nature Conservancy to the Solano County Farmlands and Open Space Foundation. The Preserve has a trail through its 1,566 acres of vernal pools and grasslands. The other facility is the non-profit Western Railway Museum located at the Rio Vista Junction. This facility offers rail excursions through the Jepson Prairie in wildflower season. The facility also has a museum and picnicking facilities. The Hastings Island Hunting preserve is a private upland game bird hunting facility occupying most of Hastings Tract, covering approximately 4,700 acres. Yolo County
Yolo County lies in the northernmost portion of the Delta and makes up about 15 percent of the Primary Zone, approximately 75,000 acres. The County lands are bisected by the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel, which connects the Sacramento River near Rio Vista to the Port of Sacramento in West Sacramento. The lands west of the ship channel make up much of the Yolo Bypass, a federal floodway. The lands east of the ship channel include: Merritt Island, Little Holland Tract, and Liberty Island. The waterways in the County include Elk Slough, the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel, the Sacramento River, and Winchester Lake. The major city outside of the Primary Zone in Yolo County is West Sacramento. The only community in the Primary Zone is Clarksburg. There are five marinas in Yolo County, three are "medium" marinas, containing 50 to 200 berths, and two are "small" marinas, with less than 50 berths. All of these marinas are privately owned. The three "medium" marinas are located in the Secondary Zone of the Delta and include: the Four Seasons Marina, Sherwood Harbor, and the Sacramento Yacht Club, all in West Sacramento on the Sacramento River. The two small marinas located in the Primary Zone of the Delta are: Clarksburg Marina and StadEs Yolo Marina, both located in Clarksburg on the Sacramento River. There are five launch facilities in Yolo County. Three of the ramps are privately owned by marinas or clubs. Two launch ramps are publicly owned and operated: Clarksburg Public Fishing Access on Merritt Island on the Sacramento River, and Broderick Boat Ramp in West Sacramento on the Sacramento River. One facility provides camping sites: the Sherwood Harbor Marina in West Sacramento on the Sacramento River. This facility has 39 camping sites, 85 berths, and areas designated for picnicking. Fishing access is provided at Clarksburg Public Fishing Access on Merritt Island on the Sacramento River. At the Port of Sacramento there is a private sailing club and a private rowing club. These sites are in the Secondary Zone. The 3,500 acre Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area just South of 1-5 is jointly managed by Department of Fish and Game and Yolo Basin Foundation. A driving tour and trails are open for wildlife viewing. Public hunting is allowed in some areas. There are a large number of private duck clubs in Yolo County, all located in the Yolo Bypass. The clubs vary greatly in size ranging from 30 acres to 3,244 acres. One other facility in Yolo County is the Yolo Short Line Railroad which connects Woodland to Clarksburg, and features excursion trips to and through the Primary and Secondary Zones of the Delta.
Sacramento County
Sacramento County is located in the northeastern and western area of the Delta, from 1-5 southwest to the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, covering about 95,000 acres, approximately 19 percent of the Primary Zone. Additional County lands are in the Secondary Zone and outside the Legal Delta and provide access to the Delta waters. Islands and tracts in the Primary Zone include: Pierson District, Sutter Island, Grand Island, McCormack Williamson Tract, Dead Horse Island, Tyler Island, Brannan-Andrus Island, Twitchell Island, and Sherman Island. Much of Brannan-Andrus Island north of Highway 12 is in the Secondary Zone. The State of California owns much of the land in the southernmost part of the County, including large portions of Sherman and Twitchell Islands, and
Brannan Island State Recreation Area. Delta water areas include Georgiana Slough, the North Fork of the Mokelurnne River, the Sacramento Deep Water Channel, the Sacramento River, the San Joaquin River, and Sevenmile Slough. Cities and communities within the Primary Zone include: Courtland, Hood, Locke, Walnut Grove, and Ryde. The City of Isleton is located in the Secondary Zone. Sacramento County is home to a variety of public and privately owned small, medium and large sized marinas. "Small" marinas contain 50 or fewer berths. There are 14 small marinas, all are privately owned, with a berth range of six to 47. Most are located in the Primary Zone of the Delta and grouped around Andrus Island, the City of Sacramento, and the Walnut Grove area. Fourteen "medium" marinas exist in the County; all are privately owned. Medium marinas have between 50 and 200 berths. Those within Sacramento County are fiom 54 to 180 berths. These medium sized marinas are primarily found in the areas surrounding the City of Sacramento, Andrus Island, Sherman Island, Brannan Island, and Walnut Grove; most of these are located within the Primary Zone of the Delta. One is located outside the Legal Delta, in the City of Sacramento, with access to the waters of the Primary Zone. Seven "large" marinas are located in Sacramento County, each containing over 200 berths. All of these marinas are privately owned, except for the Sacramento Marina in the City of Sacramento, on the Sacramento River. The Sacramento Marina is one of the largest with 553 berths, a launch ramp, and a trail. Most of the "large" marinas are grouped on Andrus Island within the Primary Zone of the Delta. There are a large number of launch ramps throughout Sacramento County, most of which are located in the Primary Zone, with a few in the Secondary Zone and outside of the Legal Delta. The ramps are clustered in the City of Sacramento, Andrus Island, Brannan Island, and Sherman Island. Many of the ramps are in privately owned marinas. Some of the ramps are located at public launch facilities, which also often include picnic sites, public trails, fishing access, and sometimes beach access and windsurfing sites. A very large facility is located at Brannan Island State Recreation Area on Brannan Island on the Sacramento River. Brannan Island State Recreation Area also has 32 berths, 102 camping sites, picnic facilities, fishing access, public trail, and beach access. Tent and RV camping sites are located in Sacramento County. Most of the camping sites are located in privately owned marinas. These camping sites are primarily on the Brannan Island, Andrus Island, and in the City of Sacramento. Brannan Island State Recreation Area has extensive camping facilities, as well as a launch ramp. Several private marinas and resorts provide campsites. Delta Isle, on Andrus Island, has the largest number of camping sites--212. This resort also includes 35 berths, picnic sites, and a fishing pier. There are a large number of picnic areas provided throughout Sacramento County in both public and private facilities. All of the publicly owned launch ramp and fishing access sites also provide picnicking sites. Formal fishing access is located at a few private marinas, and is generally provided at the publicly owned launch ramps and parks. The County provides fishing access at several sites along the Sacramento River including the Cliffhouse Fishing Access and Georgiana Slough Access. Trails in the Primary Zone are limited in number. Brannan Island State Recreation Area has numerous trails, and the Department of Parks and Recreation has converted the old railroad right-of-way behind Locke to a gravel trail. There are trails at several facilities in the Secondary Zone, such as Cosumnes Preserve and Stone Lakes Wildlife Refuge trails, which allow wildlife observation. Additional trails are located in the City of Sacramento including: Discovery Park; Garcia Bend Park; and Miller Park. The City has recently adopted a master plan to expand levee-top trails along the Sacramento and American Rivers. Four private Yacht Clubs are located in Sacramento County: two on the San Joaquin River, one on the Mokelumne, and one on Georgiana Slough. Three are located within the Primary Zone of the Delta and one in the Secondary Zone.
The only State parks in the Delta are located in Sacramento County: Brannan Island State Recreation Area and Delta Meadows River Park, near Locke. There is also a privatelpublic preserve, Cosumnes River Preserve, on the Cosumnes River and a federal wildlife refuge, Stone Lakes Wildlife Refuge, at Stone Lakes. The Refuges include lands owned by Sacramento County, the State, and Fish and Wildlife Service. All of these areas, except for parts of the Cosumnes River Preserve, are located within the Primary Zone of the Delta and have trails, although the Refuge trails are open on a limited basis. The Cosumnes Preserve has an on-site visitor facility. Sherman Island Waterfowl Management Area at the southern end of Sherman Island is managed for public hunting and fishing from boats; there are no land facilities. This area is owned and managed by Department of Fish and Game, and is located in the Primary Zone. The Sacramento River, from Rio Vista to the tip of Sherman Island, provides unique opportunities for windsurfing. Formal and informal facilities support wind-surfing providing sales and rental of equipment, physical access to the water, and camping sites for windsurfers. The windsurfer support sites in Sacramento County are located on Brannan and Sherman Islands in the Primary Zone. All but one of the registered historic sites in the Primary Zone are located within Sacramento County. Walnut Grove sites include: Imperial Theater, Gauken Hall, the Walnut Grove Japanese-American Historic District, the Walnut Grove Chinese-American Historic District, the Walnut Grove Commercial/ Residential Historic District, and Jean Harvie School. Others historic sites in the County include: Rosebud Ranch near Hood, Chinese and Japanese Commercial Districts in Isleton, Delta Meadows (archeological site) near Locke, the Town of Locke, and the River Mansion on Grand Island (see map of Historic Sites).
Contra Costa County
, ?
__--Contra Costa County is located in the southwestern portion of the Primary Zone and covers approximately 47,000 acres, about ten percent of the Primary Zone. Portions of the County are located within the Secondary Zone of the Delta and provide access to Primary Zone waters. Islands and tracts within the Primary Zone include: Browns Island (within the City of Pittsburg), Winter Island, Jersey Island, Bradford Island, Webb Tract, Holland Tract, Palm Tract, Orwood Tract, Knightsen area, and Coney Island. The areas in the Secondary Zone include: Bethel Island, Hotchkiss Tract, and Veale Tract. ly owned by East Bay Regional Park Distri and Clifton Court Forebay (Department of ed by Ironhouse Sanitary District and is proposed to be used for disposal of treated wastewater and biosolids. A pending private project would use Webb Tract as a reservoir and much of Holland Tract as managed wetland and recreation (Delta Wetlands project). Major cities within the Secondary Zone include Antioch, Brentwood, Discovery Bay, Oakley, and Pittsburg. Within the Primary Zone are the Communities of Knightsen and Bethel Island.
Contra Costa County has a large number of marinas, both public and private. Many marinas provide for other recreational activities such as camping, fishing, houseboat rentals, and picnic sites. "Small" marinas contain 50 or fewer berths. There are 19 small marinas within the Delta in Contra Costa County. They are located in the Secondary Zone of the Delta in the Bethel Island and Hotchkiss Tract areas, and range in size from seven to 46 berths. All of these small marinas are privately owned and operated. "Medium" marinas are those which have between 50 to 200 berths. Twelve medium sized marinas are located in the Secondary Zone of the Delta, again primarily in the Bethel Island area. The number of berths ranges from 52 to 160. All of these marinas are privately owned and operated. "Large" marinas contain more than 200 berths. There are eight large marinas within the County, located in Pittsburg and Antioch in the Secondary Zone of the Delta. The large marinas range from 203 to 722 berths. Most of these marinas are privately owned. There are two large public marinas: the Antioch Marina with 285 berths and a public trail, fishing pier, and other public amenities; and the Pittsburg Marina with 722 berths and a boat ramp.
DESC~TION OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES COUNTY BY COUNTY
file:///C~/OFFICE/WPWIN/WPDOCS/RECRPT.HTM
There are many launch facilities within Contra Costa County. Almost all of the ramps are located within marinas in the Secondary Zone of the Delta, most in the areas around Bethel Island and Hotchkiss Tract. Camping sites are also found within the County in the Delta. Camping includes tent and RV camp sites. All of the identified camping sites are privately owned, and located within marinas. The number of camping sites range from about 2 to 500 sites per facility. Orwood Resort on Orwood Tract on the Old River has the largest number of camping sites, 500. The Resort also provides launch ramp, picnic area, and fishing access. A limited number of picnic areas are provided at private marinas: there are a couple on Bethel Island, a couple on Orwood Tract, and a few in Antioch. Publicly owned picnic areas are provided at: Antioch Muni Boat Ramp in Antioch on the San Joaquin River; Antioch Regional Shoreline in Antioch on the Sacramento River; Riverview Park in Pittsburg on the Sacramento River; and Barbara Price Marina Park in Antioch on the Sacramento River. Formal fishing access is provided at a few marinas and at several sites created specifically for fishing. The marinas which provide fishing access are privately owned. Public fishing sites include: Antioch Regional Shoreline in Antioch on the Sacramento River; Clifton Court Forebay in Italian Slough; F r d s Tract State Recreation Area (from boats only); Riverview Park in Pittsburg on the Sacramento River; and Riverview Lodge Pier in Pittsburg on the Sacramento River. Most of these fishing access sites are located in the Antioch and Pittsburg areas. Trail sites in Contra Costa County include the Antioch Riverfront Promenade, Antioch Marina in Antioch along the San Joaquin River, and Marsh Creek Trail between Oakley and Brentwood along Marsh Creek--a five and a half mile long trail. Eight private Yacht Clubs are located within the Delta area of Contra Costa County. They are located within the Secondary Zone of the Delta, primarily in Antioch and around Bethel Island. Two public parks are located on the Delta waterfront. One is East Bay Regional Park District& Antioch Regional Shoreline in Antioch on the Sacramento River in the Secondary Zone, which includes facilities for picnicking and fishing. Another is the Barbara Price Marina Park in Antioch on the Sacramento River, also in the Secondary Zone, which contains picnic facilities and a public walkway. East Bay Regional Park District owns Browns Island and the western half of Big Break; neither site has any recreational facilities. Franks Tract State Recreation Area and Big Break allow public hunting access during waterfowl hunting season. Franks Tract is located in the Primary Zone of the Delta and also allows fishing as well; hunting is allowed from permitted floating blinds and from boats. Big Break, near Oakley has been used for waterfowl hunting for many years; EBRPD will allow hunting to continue from floating blinds or boats.
San Joaquin County
San Joaquin County& Primary Zone lands are located in the southern and western sections of the Legal Delta covering about 190,000 acres, approximately 39 percent of the Primary Zone. The lands include the areas generally bound by 1-5 to the east, Old River to the south, Old River and the Mokelumne River to the west and the Mokelumne River to the north.

The Department allows wildlife viewing with docent supervision.
DESCRIPTION OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES BY TYPE
This section of the inventory describes the recreational facilities in the Primary Zone, in the Secondary Zone, and directly adjacent to the Legal Delta by type. The same data collection methodology used to prepare the geographic description of recreation facilities (county by county) was used for this section (see attached list of sources). The written descriptions are followed by charts and by maps which illustrate the location of the recreation facilities deltawide. In the charts, the facilities are grouped by County. The types of facilities are listed in alphabetical order. Boat Launch Facilities Boat launch facilities are an amenity found in almost every public and private marina in the Delta area. Most marinas provide at least one launch ramp (a concrete "driveway" into the water where a boat on a trailer is backed into the water, then allowed to float off). Most launch ramps also provide a dock to secure boats after they are launched. Some other marinas provide a launch sling from a crane-type structure, or a hoist on a truck. These facilities are sometimes provided if there is inadequate space for a launch ramp, or if there is a large storage facility on site and using a truck eases launching of boats stored on site. In addition to boat launch facilities in public and private marinas, there are a number of publicly owned boat launching facilities. These launch facilities are often used by day users, such as water-skiers, to launch personal watercraft, or by fishermen. Fishermen particularly like to have access to launch facilities early in the morning. Boat launch facilities include: Sandy Beach Regional Park, Rio Vista Fishing Access, Broderick Boat Ramp, Clarksburg Public Fishing Access, Brannan Island State Recreation Area, Discovery Park, Hogback Island Recreation Area, Miller Park, Sherman Island Fishing Access, Tiscornia Park, Antioch Municipal Boat Ramp, Clifton County Forebay (during hunting season only), Buckley Cove Park, Dos

Reis Park, Louis Park, Morelli Boat Ramp Park, and Mossdale Crossing Park. There is often a fee charged for use of these public launch ramps. Of these public boat launch facilities, five are in the Primary Zone, six are in the Secondary Zone, and six are out of the Legal Delta. Camping and Picnic Sites Camping sites are located throughout the Delta, often in association with larger park or resort facilities. Some smaller facilities offer a limited number of camping sites. Forty-three facilities offer camping. Many of the larger marinas in the Delta area provide a "suite" of recreational facilities to provide for a variety of recreational activities during a vacation or visit. For example, a marina will often provide berths, a launch facility, camping sites, picnic and barbecue facilities, fishing access and water access. Examples of this type of multi-use facility include Delta Marina, Sandy Beach Regional Park, Snug Harbor, Shenvood Harbor Resort, B & W Resort, Brannan Island State Park, BrunoLEs Island Yacht Harbor, Delta Bay Club, Delta Isle, Duck Island RV Park, EddoLEs Harbor and RV Park, Freeport Marina, Happy Harbor, KoKet Resort, Lighthouse Resort, M a r t i d s Sherman Lake Marina, Outrigger Marina, Owl Harbor, Rancho Marina, VieiraEs Resort, Meaders Resort, Bethel Harbor, Delta Resort, FraddEs Marina, RussoLEs Marina, Orwood Resort, Dos Reis Park, Tiki Lagun, Tower Park Marina, Tracy Oasis Marina, Turner Cut Resort, Westgate Landing Park, Whiskey Slough Harbor, and Windmill Cove Marina and RV Park. Most of the larger marinas and resorts that provide camping are located in the Primary Zone of the Delta. Facilities at private marinas are available to tenants and their guests, not the general public. In addition, some of the resorts are managed as private clubs, with use by members only. It should be noted there are very few other options for overnight lodging in the Primary Zone. Some of the larger public marinas have facilities available to the general public, such as trails and picnic areas. As noted above, picnic facilities are often provided as part of a "suite" of improvements at a larger facilities inviting several days stay. Of these sites, 24 are located in the Primary Zone and nine are in the Secondary Zone. In addition, 21 public day use facilities provide picnic tables as part of a suite of improvements aimed at boaters and fishermen. Most of the sites are public, or managed by a non-profit group and are available free or with a modest day use fee. Picnic sites are located at: Western Railway Museum, Rio Vista Public Fishing Access, Rio Vista Riverbank Fishing Access, Cliffhouse Fishing Access, Cosumnes River Preserve, Discovery Park, Garcia Bend Park, Georgiana Slough Fishing Access, Hogback Island Recreation Area, Miller Park, Sherman Island Fishing Access, Windy Cove, Tiscornia Park, Barbara Price Marina Park, Antioch Muni Boat Ramp, Antioch Regional Shoreline, Riverview Park, American Legion Park, Buckley Cove Park, Dos Reis Park, and Mossdale Crossing Park. Five day use sites with picnic facilities are located in the Primary Zone, ten in the Secondary Zone, and six outside the Legal Delta. Many of the facilities are in Sacramento and Stockton, areas with large populations that seek access to the waters of the Delta.
Fishing Access
Formal fishing access on the shoreline is provided at a number of locations in the Primary Zone, the Secondary Zone and adjacent to the Legal Delta. In addition, many fishermen fish fiom their boats and many people fish fiom the banks of the levees, adjacent to public roadways. The informal parking sites are not included in this inventory. Fishing is provided in a number of the larger marinas, again as part of a suite of improvements for

These include: Big Break and Browns Island, Franks Tract, and Sherman Island Waterfowl Management Area. The distribution of fishing access sites includes 22 sites in the Primary Zone; 12 in the Secondary Zone; and six outside the Legal Delta.
Historic Sites in the Primary Zone of the Delta

A number of sites in the Primary Zone on the National Federal Register or listed as a California Registered Historical Landmark are described; sites in the Secondary Zone are not included in the inventory. Most of the Historic Sites are located in Sacramento County. Near Hood is the Rosebud Ranch, with a privately owned historic home. The entire Town of Locke is designated; Locke is the only rural Chinese community in the United States. The community is in private ownership; there are no plans for renovation. Locke is a well-known visitor destination and includes an old schoolhouse, a small museum, restaurants, art galleries, and shops. Near Locke, Delta Meadows, has been listed recognizing the remnants of a Miwok village on one of the offshore islands. Within Walnut Grove, three neighborhoods on the east side of the River are designated: Japanese-American Historic District, the Chinese American Historic District, and the CommerciaVResidential Historic District. In addition, the Gauken Hall and the Imperial Theater have been listed individually. These areas are in private ownership. In Isleton, the Chinese and Japanese Commercial Districts are designated; these areas are privately owned. Two sites in the Primary Zone are listed as California Points of Historical Interest. On Grand Island, the River Mansion is privately-owned but is available for rental for special events, serves Sunday brunch, and now has a limited number of rooms available for overnight stays. In Walnut Grove the Jean Harvie School is now a community center, owned and operated by Sacramento County. The Western Railway Museum, is outside the Legal Delta in Solano County, but provides a starting point for excursion rail trips that travel into the Primary Zone. The Museum is a designated historic site.
Hunting
Hunting is an activity which has long been associated with agricultural lands in the Primary Zone. Seasonal hunting on privately owned agricultural lands continues without any formal improvements or approvals. Hunting on private lands is allowed only with the permission of the landowner. In addition to informal hunting, there are many hunting clubs in the Primary Zone. Most of the clubs are duck clubs, although there are some clubs which specialize in upland game bird hunting. The listing of duck clubs and hunting clubs is incomplete; records are limited. Hunting and duck clubs are open to members and their guests only. There are 17 duck clubs in the Yolo Bypass area of Yolo County in the Primary Zone. The inventory lists a few additional duck clubs in other areas of the Primary Zone. The only land areas in the Primary Zone available for public hunting are the White Slough State Wildlife Area and portions of the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. Publicly-owned water-covered areas available for
DESCNPTION OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES COUNTY BY COUNTY

public hunting include: Sherman Island Waterfowl Management Area; Franks Tract; and parts of Big Break.
Marinas
Marinas are found throughout the Delta, in the Primary Zone, the Secondary Zone, and outside the Legal Delta adjacent to the waters of the Primary Zone. Marinas in the Delta area range in size from six berths to 700 berths. They vary widely in age, in level of maintenance, and in type and number of amenities and improvements. For discussion purposes, in this inventory the marinas are grouped by size: Small Marinas are less than 50 berths, Medium Marinas with between 50 and 200 berths, and Large Marinas, with over 200 berths. Note there are a lot of inconsistencies in various sources regarding the number of berths in Delta marinas. Every attempt has been made to use the most recently available information regarding the number of berths. The total number of marinas in the inventory is 106--48 in the Primary Zone, 53 in the Secondary Zone, and six outside the Legal Delta. The marinas have a total of 12,189 berths-- 4,617 in the Primary Zone, 6,432 in the Secondary Zone, and 1,140 outside the Legal Delta.
Small Marinas: Under 50 Berths
The inventory includes 43 small marinas; 20 in the Primary Zone, 21 in the Secondary Zone and two outside the Legal Delta. Also included in the Small Marina inventory are Brannan Island State Recreation Area in Sacramento County and San Joaquin CountyBs Westgate Landing Park. These two facilities do not conform to the usual description of "marinas" because the berths are not rented long term, however, the slips are available for short-term rental to park visitors. The largest number of small marinas are located in Contra Costa County, in the Bethel Island/Hotchkiss Tract area in the Secondary Zone of the Delta. Many of these very small marinas are old and have limited access, parking, and amenities, although some have been upgraded and modernized. The small marinas in this area range in size from seven berths of 46 berths. One small marina is located in the Primary Zone; the Lazy M Marina near Clifton Court Forebay.

Trails and Paths There are trails and paths in the Delta, however, most of the trails and paths are in the Secondary Zone. The trails are either within a park or wildlife area, or along a shoreline in an urban area in the Secondary Zone, or out of the Legal Delta. All the trails and paths described here are public facilities, although some private marinas have trails within their property. In Yolo County, a wildlife observation trail is included in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. In Solano County, the public fishing and access sites in the City of Rio Vista include shoreline trailslpaths. In addition, within the Jepson Prairie Preserve, there is a self- guided, loop wildlife observation trail. In Sacramento County, the parks and recreational areas include trails and paths. In addition, the City of Sacramento has recently approved a master plan which will eventually result in continuous traillpath access along much of the Sacramento River and the American River. There are trails within Brannan Island State Recreation Area. The Delta Meadows River Park has a trail along the old railroad right of way. The Cosurnnes Preserve has nature observation trails. Those trails are available, fiee, at any time. In Contra Costa County, the Antioch Marina, the Barbara Price Marina Park and the Riverfront Promenade provide shoreline paths. The Pittsburg Marina also includes a waterfront path. In addition, East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) has constructed Marsh Creek Trail which links the Contra Costa County northern shoreline to southern areas of the County and a small trail near the eastern edge of Big Break. EBRPD has plans to construct trails throughout the County linking to other regional trails. The White Slough Wildlife Area in San Joaquin County has a trail for hiking and to provide fishing and hunting access. In the Secondary Zone, the City of Stockton has constructed a number of parks adjacent to levees along the Deep Water Channel and other waterways. These parks include paths atop the levees to provide views and access for fishing. The City has also constructed a bike and jog path along the Calaveras River. Windsurfing Access Sites The Sacramento River between Rio Vista and the tip of Sherman Island is well known as a windsurfing area. Windsurfing is a seasonal sport, when the weather is warm and the winds blow. The inventory identifies nine windsurf access sites in Sacramento County and one in Solano County. Many of these sites are informal access areas, known to the windsurfers, but without improvements or support facilities. Windsurfers also access the water fiom Sandy Beach Regional Park, Cliffhouse Fishing Access, Delta Windsurf Company, Windy Cove at Brannan Island State Recreation Area, and the Sherman Island Fishing Access. In addition, like fishermen, many windsurfers park alongside the public roads, particularly Highway 160 and Sherman Island Road, to gain access to the Sacramento River waters.
