Big Break Regional Shoreline
 Visitor Center, Delta Discovery Experience, Big Break Regional Trail Loop

Big Break Regional Shoreline is chock-full of information on the Delta. This trail route gives visitors a chance to explore it through the Delta Discovery Experience, featuring multiple interpretive panels as well as a fascinating large-scale relief map that shows how water flows through the region. Visitors are encouraged not to miss the Visitor Center and to admire the view from the fishing/observation pier. The pier is a great place to observe wildlife, especially herons and egrets wading in the shallow marsh. The Levee Top trail passes directly by a beaver dam and an otter slide; quiet hikers might be lucky enough to spot a river otter or a beaver in their natural habitat! Trail Directions: From the parking lot or the Visitor Center, follow the paved path north towards the pier and the Delta Discovery Experience. Here, you will notice that the three paths leading away from the Delta map are named after important rivers. Follow the Sacramento River Trail out to the Fishing/Observation Pier, then turn around and follow the Sacramento River Trail towards the San Joaquin River Trail. Take the first left onto the dirt Levee Top Trail. Follow the Levee Top Trail until it intersects with Big Break Regional Trail, then make a right to head back to the Visitor’s Center and parking lot. Park Hours: 8am to sunset (varies seasonally) Fees: None Note: No dogs in marsh areas.
