Notice to those who love the Delta:

Over the last 10 years, the Department of Water Resources (DWR), CalFed and other state agencies have been quietly conducting studies and planning for a MAJOR revision to the Delta so that more fresh water can be pumped for export to other areas of California.  The idea of a "peripheral canal" voted down by California voters in 1980 has come back as a 2-canal plan called "Dual Conveyance".  The New Delta Plan is proposed via the 5-bills package that has been stalled but not stopped in the legislative halls of California.  For more information, here's a few links:

If you don't have the time to read the mountains of documents, look at a Summary, Timeline and a map

The California Delta Region is an AWESOME place to visit and explore!  There are over 1000 miles of waterways to zip around, over 300 restaurants to sample, and fun little resorts to stay at while getting a good feel for the area.  We hope the information provided in this website will help you understand just how unique this region of California really is!

      The California Delta Region has been in the news quite a bit the past year.  Before that, most people did not even know where the California Delta was located!  It has also been referred to as the Sacramento Delta, the San Joaquin River Delta, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and other variations of the same. Its in California and its one of only seven large deltas in the world...so logically its called the "California Delta!"  Now anyone who reads the newspapers or online news services realizes most of California's drinking water flows through these waterways.  They also realize that many of the towns, INCLUDING our state capitol of Sacramento, could suffer the same fate as New Orleans did in 2005, if we got enough rain to breech or crumble the levee system here. 

But all those news articles tend to ignore the fact that the California Delta Region also has many quaint marinas and resorts offering a wide array of boating, water sports, fishing and relaxing opportunities.  This website focuses of the fun things about the Delta.  Please use the links provided to find out more about our special region of California.
