The California Delta
The California Delta was formed by the confluence of the Sacramento, San Joaquin, American, Mokelumne and Cosumnes rivers to form over 1,000 miles of navigable waterways that stretch from Sacramento to Stockton to San Francisco. It combines a rich history with some modern amenities, forming one of the largest and most exciting playgrounds in America.
I can’t begin to describe the many facets of the Delta as well as a couple of sites that I would like to direct you to.
For a historical perspective, I like the Following two sources www.sacdelta.com/hist.html http://www.californiadelta.org/history.htm
For an all-encompassing guide to the Delta, there is none better than the website of the Delta Chambers www.californiadelta.org/homepage.htm
Enjoy your journey!
