This natural preserve is the only extensive wetland along the San Francisco Peninsula, offering diverse habitats including tidal estuaries, freshwater and brackish marshes, riparian woods, and northern coastal scrub. The Sequoia Audubon Trail serves as the main path through the preserve, allowing visitors to enjoy activities such as birdwatching, hiking, and kayaking during designated seasons. The area is home to over 200 bird species, including several endangered species, making it an important ecological site that supports wildlife and plant conservation efforts.
