Anderson Marsh State Historic Park

This 1,065-acre park is more than just a breathtaking area of grass-covered marshes, rolling hills, and oak woodlands. It also happens to be one of the largest archeological sites for the Southeastern Pomo Native Americans. There are over 24 individual sites scattered around the park, some of which date as far back as 14,000 years. This natural area is also a prime destination for bird watchers, as over 151 species have been observed in the area. Other wildlife in the park includes turtles, bats, foxes, muskrats, skunks, and garter snakes. In addition to wildlife watching, you can also spend the day hiking along the marshes or visiting the historic ranch house that was built in the late 1800s as a dairy and cattle farm.
