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.
Small Marinas: Under 50 Berths
The inventory includes 43 small marinas; 20 in the Primary Zone, 21 in the Secondary Zone and two outside the Legal Delta. Also included in the Small Marina inventory are Brannan Island State Recreation Area in Sacramento County and San Joaquin County's Westgate Landing Park. These two facilities do not conform to the usual description of marinas because the berths are not rented long term, however, the slips are available for short-term rental to park visitors.
The largest number of small marinas are located in Contra Costa County, in the Bethel Island/Hotchkiss Tract area in the Secondary Zone of the Delta. Many of these very small marinas are old and have limited access, parking, and amenities, although some have been upgraded and modernized. The small marinas in this area range in size from seven berths of 46 berths. One small marina is located in the Primary Zone; the Lazy M Marina near Clifton Court Forebay.
There are 14 small marinas in or adjacent to the Primary Zone of the Delta in Sacramento County. Twelve are located in the Primary Zone. Two are outside the Legal Delta and provide access to the Delta waterways. Half of the small marinas are located on Andrus Island and range in size from 18 to 47 berths. Two small marinas are located on Brannan Island and two in Walnut Grove. One small marina is located on Sutter Island.
Eight small marinas are located in San Joaquin County, six in the Primary Zone and two in the Secondary Zone. The small marinas have a wide distribution throughout San Joaquin County. The small marinas range in size from ten berths to 43 berths.
Two small marinas are located in Yolo County. The Clarksburg Marina with five berths is in the Primary Zone. Stan's Yolo Marina, with 20 berths, is located in West Sacramento in the Secondary Zone.
There are a total of 948 berths in the 43 small marinas in the inventory: 504 in the Primary Zone; 405 in the Secondary Zone; and 39 outside the Legal Delta.
