Benicia State Recreation Area Details
This 447-acre plot of land in Solano County encompasses a diverse landscape of beaches, marshes, and grasslands. In addition, 70% of the park is part of the Southhampton Bay Wetland Natural Preserve, which means you can see rare foliage and endangered wildlife like the northern salt marsh harvest mouse and the California golden beaver. The park is now a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, with plenty of space for walkers, runners, and cyclists. Most people choose the 1.5-mile trail to Dillon Point, which overlooks the coastal shores of the Carquinez Strait. You can visit the Forrest Deaner Native Plants Botanic Garden at the edge of the point as well.
