Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge
The first urban national wildlife refuge in the United States encompasses 30,000 acres of salt marsh, mudflats, and open bay along the southern shore. The refuge supports over 280 bird species and offers unobstructed views across the South Bay salt ponds, which change colors seasonally due to varying salinity and algae. Levee trails provide eye-level access to shorebirds and waterfowl.
