What an Amazing experience we had today on a Sunday in Feb.22.26' we went into the historic Museum…read moreby the entrance and we were met with a hospitality un like an other from Lilli and her Husband. They really took the time and gave us some historical background information on the city of Locke. The town is still very active and a great place to host wedding, concerts, farmers markets and even filming. The have antique stores, gift shops, a bar, a community garden, the entire town is a time capsule into the only town in America to have been built by Chinese for the Chinese in 1919. The is a dying gem b/c its mostly run and operated by people whom have ties somehow to the town. Although other ethnicities live there now and it's no longer a Chinese habitual it's still a very amazing part of the greater Sacramento County and its history

I love visiting Locke. It's such a cool little town and honestly feels like stepping back in time…read more Walking down the street and seeing the original buildings, museums, and small shops makes you realize how much history is still preserved here. There's something really special about Locke. It hasn't lost its character and doesn't feel overly touristy. You can just walk around, read the historic markers, explore, and take everything in at your own pace. I think everyone should visit at least once, especially if you live nearby. It's an awesome way to learn about local history and experience a part of the Delta that still feels authentic and untouched. Definitely one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon.

I didn't see anyone working at the booth to collect payment for entrance fee. ( A friend did mention to go online to pay ) Facing the park to the right hand side . Most of the BBQ pit & bench style table and chairs has plenty of shade or some shade and has access to the water by means of someone prior creating a walkway path to the water . The left hand side stayed sunny all day and not accessible to the water . I saw some people swim and kids frolicking in the water . Some pole fishing off the side and a few from their boat. I saw motorized boats, jet skis and inflated boats too . I personally wouldn't let my kids swim in these waters, Doesn't look very clean kinda mucky . I highly recommend anyone in the water need to wear a life vest . No life guards.

Looking for some Delta fun? Go here! Grab your beach chairs and your cooler, its a beautiful…read moreSacramento County park that's fun for whole family! Lots of fun in the sun on a hot summer day! Boat launch, spaced out picnic areas with plenty of tables and each having their own grills! Bring your volleyball net and ball, bring your Frisbee, bad-mitten, soccer ball or a football and surly don't forget your water toys! Big grassy area to play an outdoor game of choice. I'd advise to also grab your easy-up too! The beach areas are fairly small are mostly located right in front of the picnic table areas, kinda like for use of that family to use and not necessarily big enough for sharing with other groups. So that's why in a picture I posted, I mentioned that the beach areas are intimate. 365 days a year its a self-payment kiosk. Grab a permit payment envelope and put your $5 (car), or $10 (boat) fee in and you'll be on your way. Weather you want to BBQ with family & friends and do some fishing or relax under the mature trees and read a novel whilst the kids are swimming, Hogback is the perfect spot. During the summer the place can get quite busy. Hogbacks waterways are along the levee of the Steamboat Slough. The current can at times be swift and be aware of boats, jet skis and kids at all times. Get there early, as its first come, first served. Trash cans are throughout, please pick up after yourself. There are no services here. Porta potties for restrooms. I did not see a water spicket anywhere either. To get their from Antioch (west) follow HWY 160 signs, cross over the Isleton Bridge (half yellow and half cement color), follow 160 (take a right), down the road a bit and take your 1st left turn onto Poverty Rd, then a left again onto Walker Landing Rd. Once you reach Grand Island Rd take your last left. Follow along the levee about 3-4 minutes and then you'll see Hogback on your right. Oh and bring your kite! Parking lot is perfect on a windy Delta afternoon! Pets allowed as long as they are leashed at all times.

Just a nice simple dock to go fishing off, or launch a kayak. Parking on the road is limited, and…read moreit's some serious stairs down to the dock, but it's never crowded when I've been there. Bring a chair, a rod and some food and enjoy the day.

If you're in your boat... in the Sacramento River... and you're near Walnut Grove... and you have a…read morehankering for ice cream or pizza... and it's before 7 PM... you're in luck! The Walnut Grove Public Dock is a clean, large mooring facility to park your watercraft for a spell, while you head into town or enjoy one of the businesses close to the dock. And did I mention: it's free! There's a fee for overnight tie ups, but during the day, it's like parking your car on the curb. On our recent camping trip just down the rover from Isleton, our group took a flotilla of boats to the ice cream place at the dock. Summer conditions in the delta made the water warm and relatively clear, and the kids tubes and wake boarded on the way up the river to Walnut Grove. We tied up to the dock, gorged on sweet treats, and returned for a sundown boat ride back. Apparently, fishing used to be allowed here; not anymore. In fact, there are lots of rules posted here, almost comically... and there's room on the wall for more rules to be posted at the whim and fancy of the city council. Definitely a different way of living than our SoCal freeway lifestyle.

This is a beautifully maintained park between the elementary school and the fire station.

It's been very quiet under-used the times we've been there; maybe it gets busy when school lets out on school days. Only drawback: no bathroom.

So depends on the season I guess. Beautiful and green. Weren't too many people on a weekday around 10. Really nice paved paths and also a flat dirt trail.

What was once a worthwhile club appears to be in clear decline. From my direct experience, the…read morewarning signs are hard to ignore: management turnover, frustrated employees, and ownership that no longer seems willing to invest in the club's future. Prospective buyers should look closely before committing. The fleet is now made up of aging boats, roughly 4-6 years old, and the wear is evident. Inventory has reportedly been reduced from 9 boats to 5, including only 2 surf boats, while pricing remains unchanged. At the same time, members are being asked to move to an "unlimited bookings" model that still limits usage to no more than 3 bookings per month!!! Last season alone, boats experienced issues ranging from failed ballast pumps and broken amps to damaged railings and inconsistent availability. Yet despite reduced inventory, aging equipment, and declining service levels, ownership appears intent on maintaining the same pricing without meaningful reinvestment. Anyone considering joining should do their homework, verify the facts independently, and speak with former members. Membership has reportedly fallen from 42 to 17 and continues to trend downward. That kind of decline does not happen without reason.

The service at this place is amazing, from the person checking you in at the top parking lot, to…read moregetting you squared away down at the gas dock. Instructions were provided concisely in an easy to understand format for new drivers. We rented a Chaparral for 4 hours on Labor Day and it couldn't have gone smoother. The boat was in excellent condition and everyone had a great time. Gas came out to about $57, keeping in mind we had 5 adults, lots of food, and towed a tube during our rental period. Definitely recommend Berryessa Water Sports and will see them again soon!

They just called me to inform my the entire electrical system in the motor is fried. it is going to be cheaper to purchase a new motor. Mr. Tanner at boat pro's believes this is why Richie is not returning my calls. I. took Bengal action on another company a few years ago. it the small claims court I was awarded the sum. Then the contractor filed bankruptcy and did not have t o pay the money I was awarded. Laws need to be changed around this.
