Chances are you have probably never heard of the California River Delta. This interconnected system of estuaries, canals, and channels is a historically and agriculturally significant part of Californias environment. And you can experience it in all its glory while driving down this 45-mile scenic byway. You can start your drive in the north near the town of Freeport. From here, head south through the rural small towns and farms snaking along the narrow rivers as you pass them.
