Tolay Creek's tidal wetlands are located in San Pablo Bay NWR (National
Wildlife Refuge) and Napa-Sonoma Marshes Wildlife Area. They are open
to limited public use, including hunting, fishing, and wildlife observation.


Wetlands restoration in SFB is complicated by the presence of several
threatened and endangered species. This is the California clapper rail,
a federally listed species, which occurs at Tolay Creek. It uses Spartina
saltmarsh habitat Construction in wetlands is restricted during the rail’s
reproductive season.
