Benicia State Recreation Area

Benicia State Recreation Area covers 720 acres of marsh, grassy hillsides and rocky beaches along the narrowest portion of the Carquinez Strait. Cyclists, runners, walkers, and roller skaters enjoy the park's 2.5 miles of road and bike paths. Picnicking, bird watching and fishing are also main attractions. The marshland area on Dillon's Point is a particularly favorite place for fishing. Vehicles can enter the park through a toll gate.

The recreation area is 1.5 miles west of the outskirts of Benicia on I-780. Call the park for operating hours and other information.
