The Brannan Island/Franks Tract State Recreation Areas are located
three miles past the Antioch Bridge. Cottonwood and Willow campgrounds in
the park have a total of 102 developed sites with tables and stoves. RVs
up to thirty-one feet long are welcome. You can berth your boat in the Delta
Vista Boat Campsite overnight; near the berths are walk-in campsites and
restrooms with hot showers. Meanwhile in Franks Tract, where all but three
hundred acres of it is underwater, boating and waterskiing is prevalent, as
well as fishing (particularly stripped bass, bulegill, black bass, and some
salmon) and waterfowl hunting. Franks Tract is only accessible by water.
Route 160 is a fascinating way to see the California Delta. To learn

This happens to be the route into Sacramento; from this route you
will be able to take a view of California's capitol. At the part of the
route that goes south, at Capitol Street, you can stop by and view Capitol
Park, surrounded by the State Archives to the south, the California Vietnam
Veterans Monument to the east, a Hyatt hotel to the north, and the State
Capitol Building to the west. The State Library and the State Capitol Museum
is behind the actual capitol. On the corner of H Street and 16th Street
(northbound Route 160) is the Old Governor's Mansion. And if you have time,
you can take a ride on Sacramento's own Metro Rail!
Antioch Bridge charges a $2.00 toll, so don't act surprised.
When arriving in Sacramento, the route starts to wander around and the
two bounds (north and south) split during this time. Heading northbound on
21st Street, make a left on Broadway and then a right on 16th Street;
continue through Sacramento and you'll reach the freeway portion. Heading
southbound, head on the freeway to its ending, where it empties the traffic
on 12th Street. Make a left on F Street and then a right on 15th Street.
Then, make a left on Broadway and then a right on Freeport Boulevard. The
street will take you to where you meet the rest of the route.
