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.
Marinas
Marinas are found throughout the Delta, in the Primary Zone , the Secondary Zone, and outside the Legal Delta adjacent to the waters of the Primary Zone. Marinas in the Delta area range in size from six berths to 700 berths. They vary widely in age, in level of maintenance, and in type and number of amenities and improvements. For discussion purposes, in this inventory the marinas are grouped by size: Small Marinas are less than 50 berths, Medium Marinas with between 50 and 200 berths, and Large Marinas, with over 200 berths. Note there are a lot of inconsistencies in various sources regarding the number of berths in Delta marinas. Every attempt has been made to use the most recently available information regarding the number of berths.
The total number of marinas in the inventory is 106--48 in the Primary Zone, 53 in the Secondary Zone, and six outside the Legal Delta. The marinas have a total of 12,189 berths-- 4,617 in the Primary Zone, 6,432 in the Secondary Zone, and 1,140 outside the Legal Delta.
