Alkali Sink Ecological Reserve

Abundant wildflowers in the spring

I was bowled over by how much amazing wildlife was just off the road and I had no idea! A road is available that takes visitors all along the banks of the Fresno Slough. My first visit offered yucky looking swamp water unsuitable to maintain life. My second visit was a waterway providing recreational activities for boaters/fishermen, lots of pullouts for drivers to park and enjoy the nature areas, and was now home to thick, bright green lilypads creating a carpeting for fish, amazing birdwatching sots, and my very favorite sights: tall, thin, sleek, dark-colored and bright white storks!! I urge anyone who doesn't get much nature exposure to come out. The main shack is standing, but No one is collecting fees, so once you drive by it, the fun begins. Be aware the dirt road is very curvy and often rough. If you find yourself finding a spot to park and take it on by foot, I think that might be even better (a warning sign for rattlesnakes is attached to the ticket office, so keep eyes and ears open!!).

Se libera it.
