Inventory of Recreational Facilities —
DESCRIPTION OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES BY TYPE
This section of the inventory describes the recreational facilities in the Primary Zone, in the Secondary Zone, and directly adjacent to the Legal Delta by type. The same data collection methodology used to prepare the geographic description of recreation facilities (county by county) was used for this section (see attached list of sources). The written descriptions are followed by charts and by maps which illustrate the location of the recreation facilities deltawide. In the charts, the facilities are grouped by County. The types of facilities are listed in alphabetical order.
Fishing Access
Formal fishing access on the shoreline is provided at a number of locations in the Primary Zone, the Secondary Zone and adjacent to the Legal Delta. In addition, many fishermen fish from their boats and many people fish from the banks of the levees, adjacent to public roadways. The informal parking sites are not included in this inventory.
Fishing is provided in a number of the larger marinas, again as part of a suite of improvements for recreational users. In addition, many public day use facilities emphasize fishing access and facilities. The day use facilities with fishing access include: Sandy Beach Regional Park, Rio Vista Public Fishing Access, Rio Vista Riverbank Fishing Access, Clarksburg Public Fishing Access, Brannan Island State Recreation Area, Cliffhouse Fishing Access, Delta Meadows River Park, Discovery Park, Garcia Bend Park, Georgiana Slough Fishing Access, Hogback Island Recreation Area, Miller Park, Sherman Island Fishing Access, Tiscornia Park, Antioch Marina, Antioch Municipal Boat Ramp, Antioch Regional Shoreline, Riverview Lodge Pier, Riverview Park, Clifton Court Forebay, Buckley Cove Park, Dos Reis Park, Fritz Grupe Park, Louis Park, Westgate Landing Park, and White Slough State Wildlife Area.
There are also several water-covered areas owned and managed by public agencies which are available for fishing from boats only. These include: Big Break and Browns Island, Franks Tract, and Sherman Island Waterfowl Management Area.
The distribution of fishing access sites includes 22 sites in the Primary Zone; 12 in the Secondary Zone; and six outside the Legal Delta.
