The Great California Delta Trail will be a continuous recreational corridor from Martinez to Sacramento. It will create an unique recreation, education, and economic resource benefiting Contra Costa, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano, and Yolo Counties.

The Great California Delta Trail was created in 2006 when Governor Schwarzenegger signed Senator Tom Torlakson's SB 1556 into law.

Much of the California Delta is currently inaccessible except by boat, or in some cases, by car. Delta Protection Commission surveys over the past decade have shown there are many unmet recreational needs for the Delta region—including trails for hiking and bicycling, facilities for wildlife observation and education, water sports access, bank fishing areas, and improved historic and cultural sites with interpretive information.

The Friends of the Great California Delta Trail is a community group seeking to raise community support and awareness for the completion of the trail by working throughout our region.

We hope you will join the Friends of the Great California Trail as we work together to bring this concept to reality for generations of California to enjoy in the years to come!

The Delta Protection Commission has posted several new documents related to the Great California Delta Trail's planning process for Contra Costa and Solano Counties. 

The documents include action plans and a powerpoint presentation. Click here to review the new materials.

Local elected officials, including Assemblymember Tom Torlakson, Assemblymember Mariko Yamada, Senator Lois Wolk, Congressmember Mike Thompson, Yolo County Supervisor Helen Thomson, and Sacramento County Supervisor Don Nottolo have authored letters of support for the Sacramento Area Council of Government's application to the California Department of Transportation for a Community Based Transportation Planning Grant. 

The Delta Protection Commission has posted on its web site copies of the letters of support. We thank all of these elected officials for their continued support of the Great California Delta Trail!
