Partnership with Solano County Resource Conservation District
California State Parks is working in collaboration with the Solano County Resource Conservation District on the Glen Cove Waterfront Enhancement Project. This is a multiyear project that will have minor impacts to park users- temporary area closures, herbicide applications, project days with volunteers, etc.,. The project will benefit local pollinators, wildlife and help to ensure biodiversity within the project area. The project involves removing non-native plants, planting native trees, shrubs, grasses and wildflowers that are culturally significant to the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation. To learn more about this project, please visit the Solano Resource Conservation District. For questions about the project, please email- info@solanorcd.org.
Cyclists, runners, walkers, equestrians, and roller skaters enjoy the park’s 2 1/2 miles of road and bike paths. Picnicking, bird watching and fishing are also attractions. Dogs must be on a leash at all times.
The marshland area on Dillon’s Point is a particularly favorite place for fishing. A parking fee is required.
Three "Enroute" campsites are available for an overnight stay on a "first-come, first-served" basis with no reservations possible. This camping is limited to motorhomes or vehicles with trailers, which must be fully self-contained. Tents are not permitted. Collecting or destroying anything in the park, including mushrooms, is prohibited.
