Description: This 360 acre area is an important cover and feeding area for wildlife during late fall, winter, and early spring. Vegetation varies throughout the area from mature cottonwood trees, willows and valley oaks in some locations to a sparsely-covered sandy soil area on the eastern end. Game birds, raptors, songbirds and native mammals are all present.
Access: Type C area
Access is gained at numerous points from County Roads 126 or 127.
There is a gate across Road 127 and vehicles are not allowed on the levee road.
Road 126 is paved for one mile before encountering a gate, restricting further vehicle access along the levee. It is here the road turns north onto Road 124.
Recreational Use
- Hunting is allowed between September 1 and January 31. A Yolo County ordinance allows for the use of shotguns while hunting on this area. Rifles or pistols may not be used or possessed on the wildlife area. Game species include waterfowl (when the area is flooded), ring-necked pheasant and mourning dove.
- Fishing, hunting and bird watching are allowed. The Tule Canal has white sturgeon, white catfish and black crappie while the nearby borrow pits have largemouth bass, bluegill and white catfish.
PLEASE NOTE: Area regulations are subject to change. Special restrictions on recreational uses, hunt days and methods of take are listed in the current year's issue of Hunting and Other Public Uses on State and Federal Areas, available at Fish and Game offices and places where licenses are sold.
Facilities: None
