Driving Directions to and Using the Map Below: Ryer Island Snug Harbor If You Are Traveling in a Motor Home Over 26 Feet, Or In Driving directions to Ryer Island and Snug Harbor using the map below: If you are traveling in a motor home over 26 feet, or in a truck pulling a large trailer: use the bridge route to Ryer Island. From West Sacramento use Jefferson Blvd (84) to Courtland Road then turn right and follow to Ryer Road, which brings you to the Miners Slough bridge onto Ryer Island. Turn left to go to Snug Harbor once on Ryer Island. Or from Walnut Grove drive north along the west side of the Sacramento River (State Route 160)and keep going until you reach Courtland Road. Turn left onto Courtland Road and follow to Ryer Road, which brings you to the Miners Slough bridge onto Ryer Island. Once you cross bridge go left to Snug Harbor, about 7.5 miles down around the island. If you are in a vehicle or truck pulling boat trailer, you can use the Rio Vista “Real McCoy II” ferry to cross from Rio Vista to Ryer Island, which is labeled St. Route 84. Or you can use the “J-Mac” ferry between Grand Island and Ryer Island, crossing historic Steamboat Slough, which is labeled St Route 220. Both ferrys are run by CalTrans, rides are free. Rio Vista ferry runs every 20 minutes and can take 8 vehicles across at a time for a 4 minute ride. J-Mac ferry can take up to 6 vehicles at a time and runs back and forth for a 3-4 minute ride 24/7/365. For more information see the Delta Ferrys page.

Note that the resort-RV park is a private gated facility and if stopping for refreshment at the Snug Harbor store you will have to ring at the gate first. Seasonal store with hours posted on the gate and the Snug Harbor resort website. Historic North Delta Boating trail: Start on the Sacramento River by Rio Vista. Travel north then east into historic Steamboat Slough, following the route of the paddle wheel steam ships and schooners of the 1850’s. The Snug Harbor peninsula off Ryer Island is about 4.5 nautical miles up Steamboat Slough. If you want to stop in at the Snug Harbor store, go to the clearly marked gas dock to tie up to make your purchase. If you want overnight docking accommodations, there are covered and open berths on Snug Cove available by advance reservation. Continuing on Steamboat Slough, 1.5 miles further upriver you will find Hogback Park, a public day-use park with good wide public launch facilities and ample parking, if you have friends who want to join your boat tour. This is a good spot to stop and picnic and use the rustic port-a-potties. Or better yet, continue on up Steamboat Slough, keeping to the right at the “Y” where Sutter Slough branches off to the left (or port side). If you stay to the right, you will continue up Steamboat Slough, past the Grand Island Mansion, past the Steamboat Resort private docks, to Steamboat Landing on the left after you cross under the Steamboat Slough bridge. Steamboat Landing just remodeled a 100 year old local restaurant and farm stand into a new and beautiful place to pick up breakfast and lunch, or fresh local produce, for your journey on up the Sacramento River towards Clarksburg wine tasting and Old Town Sacramento. Note if you are traveling in a large, tall boat you may have to call to have the Steamboat Slough bridge opened for you. (See the Delta contacts page).

Summary “Once a landscape has been established, its origins are repressed from memory. It takes on the appearance of an ‘object’ which has been there, outside us, from the start.” Karatani Kojin (1993), Origins of Japanese Literature The Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta is the hub of California’s water supply system and the home of numerous native fish species, five of which already are listed as threatened or endangered. The recent rapid decline of populations of many of these fish species has been followed by court rulings restricting water exports from the Delta, focusing public and political attention on one of California’s most important and iconic water controversies.

  • 2. the Legacies of Delta History
    2. TheLegaciesofDeltaHistory “You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.” Heraclitus (540 BC–480 BC) The modern history of the Delta reveals profound geologic and social changes that began with European settlement in the mid-19th century. After 1800, the Delta evolved from a fishing, hunting, and foraging site for Native Americans (primarily Miwok and Wintun tribes), to a transportation network for explorers and settlers, to a major agrarian resource for California, and finally to the hub of the water supply system for San Joaquin Valley agriculture and Southern California cities. Central to these transformations was the conversion of vast areas of tidal wetlands into islands of farmland surrounded by levees. Much like the history of the Florida Everglades (Grunwald, 2006), each transformation was made without the benefit of knowing future needs and uses; collectively these changes have brought the Delta to its current state. Pre-European Delta: Fluctuating Salinity and Lands As originally found by European explorers, nearly 60 percent of the Delta was submerged by daily tides, and spring tides could submerge it entirely.1 Large areas were also subject to seasonal river flooding. Although most of the Delta was a tidal wetland, the water within the interior remained primarily fresh. However, early explorers reported evidence of saltwater intrusion during the summer months in some years (Jackson and Paterson, 1977). Dominant vegetation included tules—marsh plants that live in fresh and brackish water. On higher ground, including the numerous natural levees formed by silt deposits, plant life consisted of coarse grasses; willows; blackberry and wild rose thickets; and galleries of oak, sycamore, alder, walnut, and cottonwood.

Delta water management for agriculture, water supply diversions, and exports and the salinity of water diverted for waterfowl habitat in the managed wetlands of the Marsh officially became linked in the 1978 State Water Board Delta Water Control Plan and the water right decision (D-1485) Suisun Marsh salinity standards (objectives). D-1485 required DWR and Reclamation to prepare a plan to protect the beneficial use of water for fish and wildlife and meet salinity standards for the Marsh. Initial facilities included improved RRDS facilities to supply approximately 5,000 acres on Simmons, Hammond, Van Sickle, Wheeler, and Grizzly Islands with lower salinity water from Montezuma Slough, and the MIDS and Goodyear Slough outfall to improve supply of lower salinity water for the southwestern Marsh.

    Stitching a River Culture: Trade, Communication and Transportation to 1960 W. R. Swagerty and Reuben W. Smith, University of the Pacific Swagerty & Smith 1 Stitching a River Culture: Communication, Trade and Transportation to 1960 An essay by William R. Swagerty & Reuben W. Smith The Delta Narratives Project Delta Protection Commission, State of California June 1, 2015 California’s Delta California’s Delta is a unique environment, created by the natural drainage of the state’s Sierra Nevada range into the Central Valley, which in turn delivers the runoff of rain and snowmelt into river basins that meander and spill into sloughs, bays, and ultimately the Pacific Ocean. According to environmental historian Philip Garone, “Rising sea levels between six thousand and seven thousand years ago impeded the flow of the lower reaches of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, creating a labyrinthine network of hundreds of miles of sloughs surrounding nearly one hundred low-lying islands—the historic Delta.”1 Today, the original 738,000 acres of the Delta are among the most engineered lands in the state; and yet, they still have environmental, social, and economic attributes that merit recognition and protection. By the State of California Delta Protection Commission’s own introductory definition: The Primary Zone of the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta (Delta) includes approximately 500,000 acres of waterways, levees and farmed lands extending over portions of five counties: Solano, Yolo, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Contra Costa. The rich peat soil in the central Delta and the mineral soils in the higher elevations support a strong agricultural economy.
