AMERICAN CANYON WETLANDS
Home
Park Description: The wetlands were created in 1997 when the city
of American Canyon received a grant to purchase 460 acres of marshlands.
After much debate, the money was used to restore the wetlands to their
original state, and the area now hosts a vibrant marshland eco system as
well as having mitigated sewage, flood and runaway development problems.
Plans are afoot for more environmental projects on the remaining land and
future acquisitions are in the works. Only from the parking lot south is
open currently.
Directions: The park is located about
5 miles north of Vallejo. From Highway 12, go west on Rio Del Mar (has
light). Take an immediate right onto Eucalyptus and follow it to the end.
Picnic tables, but no toilets...so not too much beer.
