The Dow Wetlands Wildlife Habitat Preserve was established in 1989 and can be found along a scenic stretch of land by the San Joaquin River. The 470-acre preserve plays a vital role in Antioch by providing a tidal and upland marsh habitat for over 120 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. You can explore the preserve via their extensive walking trails; there are several viewing decks and benches along the way to rest and watch the turtles, otters, and birds you’re sure to run into. Other aspects that are worth checking out while you’re there include a 30-acre beaver pond and the picturesque stretch of grasslands.
