Description:
The Lost Slough Wetlands Walk is a 1-mile universally-accessible trail offering an up-close view of lush marshes, wetland plants, water-birds, insects and amphibians. There is also a wooden boardwalk meandering into the Lost Slough. The River Walk Trail is on raised levees through a variety of habitats, including buttonbush thickets, native grasslands, valley oak riparian forest, cottonwood-willow riparian forest, tule marsh, valley oak savannah and several restoration projects. During the winter months, the natural flood cycle often results in complete inundation of this trail by floodwaters.Boardwalk is open from 10am-4pm and trail is open from sunrise to sunset.
