Hoover Ranch: Public Tours

Step into one of California’s most important landscapes.

On Bethel Island, Hoover Ranch stretches nearly two miles along the Bay Delta, providing refuge for sandhill cranes, snow geese, loggerhead shrikes, and migrating salmon.

Join John Muir Land Trust for an intimate tour of this remarkable property—part of our Bay Delta Campaign to safeguard water, wildlife, and community. Along the way, you’ll take in sweeping views of Mt. Diablo, walk among Delta habitats, and learn why protecting this ecosystem is vital for California’s future.
