Trail Description:
Marsh trail is a nice open 2.3 mile long combination open grasslands and
marsh levy trail west of the farm. From the bucolic prairie farm setting the
trail heads west to the marsh. After a half mile the trail meanders along
the wide Suisun Slough which hosts a variety of birds, mammals and an
occasional motor or sail boat. The last half mile is through grass pasture
back to the farm.
Trail Location:
From the visitors center, head west or out the
back door. The trail begins here and heads down to the fence about a
hundred yards away. It is well marked.
